MIPS: Fix set_pte() for Netlogic XLR using cmpxchg64() 
Commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.") introduced an
open-coded version of cmpxchg() within set_pte(), that always operated
on a value the size of an unsigned long. That is, it used ll/sc
instructions when CONFIG_32BIT=y or lld/scd instructions when
CONFIG_64BIT=y.

This was broken for configurations in which pte_t is larger than an
unsigned long (with the exception of XPA configurations which have a
different implementation of set_pte()), because we no longer update the
whole PTE. Indeed commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.")
notes:

> The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR && CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
> handled.

In practice this affects Netlogic XLR/XLS systems including
nlm_xlr_defconfig.

Commit 82f4f66ddf ("MIPS: Remove open-coded cmpxchg() in set_pte()")
then replaced this open-coded version of cmpxchg() with an actual call
to cmpxchg(). Unfortunately the configurations mentioned above then fail
to build because cmpxchg() can only operate on values 32 bits or smaller
in size, resulting in:

  arch/mips/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:166:11: error:
    call to '__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer' declared with
    attribute error: Bad argument size for cmpxchg

One option that would fix the build failure & restore the previous
behaviour would be to cast the pte pointer to a pointer to unsigned
long, so that cmpxchg() would operate on just 32 bits of the PTE as it
has been since commit 46011e6ea3 ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.").
That feels like an ugly hack though, and the behaviour of set_pte() is
likely a little broken.

Instead we take advantage of the fact that the affected configurations
already know at compile time that the CPU will support 64 bits (ie. have
hardcoded cpu_has_64bits in cpu-feature-overrides.h) in order to allow
cmpxchg64() to be used in these configurations. set_pte() then makes use
of cmpxchg64() when necessary.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
