[PATCH v5 1/3] ARC: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg

ARC has no two-byte atomic compare and swap, so the
arch_cmpxchg_relaxed() macro switch lets case 2 fall through to
BUILD_BUG() via default, and a two-byte cmpxchg() fails the build.

Route case 2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which narrows the
old and new values itself, so the dispatch keeps the (uintptr_t)
casts the case 1 path already uses.

The sizeof(*(_p_)) fix that v4 folded in here landed separately
through Vineet's f050c3e61d2a, so this patch is now only the
case 2 wiring.
