arm64: Remove redundant mov from LL/SC cmpxchg
The cmpxchg implementation introduced by commit c342f78217e8 ("arm64:
cmpxchg: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU") performs
an apparently redundant register move of [old] to [oldval] in the
success case - it always uses the same register width as [oldval] was
originally loaded with, and is only executed when [old] and [oldval] are
known to be equal anyway.
The only effect it seemingly does have is to take up a surprising amount
of space in the kernel text, as removing it reveals:
