[PATCH v2 31/32] sh: support a 2-byte smp_store_mb

At the moment, xchg on sh only supports 4 and 1 byte values, so using it
from smp_store_mb means attempts to store a 2 byte value using this
macro fail.

And happens to be exactly what virtio drivers want to do.

Check size and fall back to a slower, but safe, WRITE_ONCE+smp_mb.
