x86: add user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic at uaccess.h
This patch adds user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() to use CMPXCHG instruction against a user space address. This generalizes the already existing futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() so it can be used in other contexts. This will be used in the upcoming support for Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions.)
