asm-generic: avoid __generic_cmpxchg_local warnings
Code that passes a 32-bit constant into cmpxchg() produces a harmless
sparse warning because of the truncation in the branch that is not taken:
fs/erofs/zdata.c: note: in included file (through /home/arnd/arm-soc/arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h, /home/arnd/arm-soc/arch/arm/include/asm/atomic.h, /home/arnd/arm-soc/include/linux/atomic.h, ...):
include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:29:33: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (
5f0ecafe becomes fe)
include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:33:34: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (

include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:34:44: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (

This was reported as a regression to Matt's recent __generic_cmpxchg_local
patch, though this patch only added more warnings on top of the ones
that were already there.
Rewording the truncation to use an explicit bitmask instead of a cast
to a smaller type avoids the warning but otherwise leaves the code
unchanged.
I had another look at why the cast is even needed for atomic_cmpxchg(),
and as Matt describes the problem here is that atomic_t contains a
signed 'int', but cmpxchg() takes an 'unsigned long' argument, and
converting between the two leads to a 64-bit sign-extension of
negative 32-bit atomics.
I checked the other implementations of arch_cmpxchg() and did not find
any others that run into the same problem as __generic_cmpxchg_local(),
but it's easy to be on the safe side here and always convert the
signed int into an unsigned int when calling arch_cmpxchg(), as this
will work even when any of the arch_cmpxchg() implementations run
into the same problem.
