Oh..ok, powerpc (and other archs?) can't do 2byte cmpxchg and xchg.
Then, we should use spinlock rather than that.
How about this ? Nishimura-san, could you consider something better ?
We need a quick fix.
==
swap_cgroup uses 2bytes data and uses cmpxchg in a new operation.
2byte cmpxchg/xchg is not available on some archs. This patch replaces
cmpxchg/xchg with operations under lock.
