[PATCH v3 2/6] ARM: cmpxchg: support 2-byte xchg() on pre-ARMv6 CPUs

[Karl Mehltretter]

Pre-ARMv6 CPUs have no halfword swp, so __arch_xchg() only handles 1-
and 4-byte exchanges there and turns any other size into a link error
via __bad_xchg().

No C code needs a 16-bit xchg() on these CPUs, but the Rust atomic
helpers in rust/helpers/atomic_ext.c provide xchg() for Atomic<i16>
unconditionally, so building with CONFIG_RUST=y for ARMv5 fails:

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __bad_xchg
  >>> referenced by helpers.c
  >>>               rust/helpers/helpers.o:(rust_helper_atomic_i16_xchg)

Implement the 2-byte case with interrupts disabled, as the pre-ARMv6
atomic_t operations already do. This is safe because a kernel built
for ARMv5 or older is never SMP.

ARMv6 before ARMv6K (ARM1136r0) has no 16-bit exclusive access either.
It is not handled here. Rust stays disabled for those kernels, and
they cannot be SMP since commit d70242427110 ("ARM: rework ARM11 CPU
selection logic").
