arc_usr_cmpxchg currently returns an uninitialized value in ret
on a failed access_ok call. Instead, return -EFAULT.

Thx for spotting this. Since this is new code, not yet merged, do you mind if I
squash it with orig patch. I can add a Reviewed-by a SOB as you prefer.

Sure, squash it int and add me as a Reviewed-by.
