[PATCH 2/5] 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. 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.

The switch also now tests sizeof(*(_p_)) instead of sizeof((_p_)),
which switched on the pointer and made the size 1 and size 2 cases
dead code, routing every sub-word cmpxchg() through the 32-bit
llock/scond pair and comparing whole words against sub-word values,
so the compare almost never succeeded. The old and new values are
now declared as unsigned long through (unsigned long)(0 ? *(_p_) :
(old)), the idiom David Laight suggested, which type checks the
arguments against the pointee, so cmpxchg(&p, 4, 5) no longer
compiles silently.
