[PATCH 6.12 094/156] ARC: build: Use __force to suppress per-CPU cmpxchg warnings

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck at kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 1e8af9f04346ecc0bccf0c53b728fc8eb3490a28 ]

Currently, the cast of the first argument to cmpxchg_emu_u8() drops the
__percpu address-space designator, which results in sparse complaints
when applying cmpxchg() to per-CPU variables in ARC.  Therefore, use
__force to suppress these complaints, given that this does not pertain
to cmpxchg() semantics, which are plently well-defined on variables in
general, whether per-CPU or otherwise.
