[ 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.
