[PATCH v3 2/5] ARC: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg

ARC has no two-byte atomic compare and swap, so the __cmpxchg() macro
switch lets case 2 fall through to BUILD_BUG() via default. Route case
2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which takes the old and new
values as unsigned long and narrows them itself, so the (uintptr_t)
casts on _o_ and _n_ are no longer needed and the case 2 call passes
them straight.
