Please note that ppc directly defines local_cmpxchg that bypasses
cmpxchg_local/arch_cmpxchg_local machinery. The patch takes the same
approach for local_try_cmpxchg, because fallbacks are using
arch_cmpxchg_local definitions.

PPC should be converted to use arch_cmpxchg_local (to also enable
instrumentation), but this is not the scope of the proposed patchset.
