MIPS: cmpxchg: Implement 1 byte & 2 byte cmpxchg()
Implement support for 1 & 2 byte cmpxchg() using read-modify-write atop a 4 byte cmpxchg(). This allows us to support these atomic operations despite the MIPS ISA only providing 4 & 8 byte atomic operations. This is required in order to support queued rwlocks (qrwlock) in a later patch, since these make use of a 1 byte cmpxchg() in their slow path.
