The asm-generic implementations of cmpxchg_local() and cmpxchg64_local() use a `_generic` suffix to distinguish themselves from arch code or wrappers used elsewhere. Subsequent patches will add ARCH_ATOMIC support to these implementations, and will distinguish more functions with a `generic` portion. To align with how ARCH_ATOMIC uses an `arch_` prefix, it would be helpful to use a `generic_` prefix rather than a `_generic` suffix. In preparation for this, this patch renames the existing functions to make `generic` a prefix rather than a suffix. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
