Subject: [PATCH] arm: cmpxchg: update macro to prevent compiler warning

In kernel/acct.c we call the cmpxchg() macro without using it's
return value, so the compiler complains when compiling for ARM:

kernel/acct.c: In function 'acct_pin_kill':
arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:205:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__cmpxchg_mb((ptr), \
^
kernel/acct.c:174:2: note: in expansion of macro 'cmpxchg'
cmpxchg(&acct->ns->bacct, pin, NULL);
^

Rearrange the macro along the lines of a similar patch for arm64
60010e508111 ("arm64: cmpxchg: update macros to prevent warnings")
to fix the warning.

A fix is already queued, and has been queued since 26th May.
