Add Kconfig option ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG

Browse source 
cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code.  But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.

This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.

On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).
