[PATCH v2 4/5] sh: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg

SH has no byte or halfword atomic memory operations, so the __cmpxchg()
switch routes case 1 through cmpxchg_emu_u8() and lets case 2 fall
through to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer(), which is declared but
never defined, so a two-byte cmpxchg() fails at link time. Route case
2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which takes natural u16
arguments, so the unsigned long old and new narrow at the function
boundary.
