[PATCH] powerpc: Select HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG

[Samuel Holland]

On powerpc, access_ok() succeeds for the NULL pointer. This breaks the
dynamic check in futex_detect_cmpxchg(), which expects -EFAULT. As a
result, robust futex operations are not functional on powerpc.

Since the architecture's futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() implementation
requires no runtime feature detection, we can select HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG
to skip futex_detect_cmpxchg() and enable the use of robust futexes.
