futex_detect_cmpxchg() does a cmpxchg_futex_value_locked on a NULL user addr to
runtime detect whether architecture implements atomic cmpxchg for futex. POWER
do implement the feature and hence we can enable the config instead of depending
on runtime detection.

We could possible enable this on everything. For now limitted to book3s_64
