The purpose of __cmpxchg_local() should be for arch_cmpxchg_local(), similarly
for other architectures like x86/arm/powerpc.

I noticed that arc/hexagon/openrisc/sh don't have arch_cmpxchg_local defined
because my patch triggered an error in kernel building. Then found xtensa's
definition of arch_cmpxchg_local() is not reasonable, so proposed this patch
to improve.

This change is not a must, but an improvement to simply make the codes of
arch_cmpxchg_local() more reasonable.
