[PATCH] arch/powerpc: use BUILD_BUG() when detect unfit {cmp}xchg, size

From: Pan Xinhui
Date: Tue Feb 23 2016 - 03:47:22 EST


From: pan xinhui <xinhui.pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() can't tell us what codes use {cmp}xchg
in incorrect way. And no error will be reported until the link stage.
To fix such kinds of issues in a easy way, we use BUILD_BUG() here.
