Isn't this effectively the same as the "_Q_PENDING_BITS != 8"
version of xchg_tail()?

If nothing else needs xchg() on a 16-bit value, maybe
changing the #ifdef in the qspinlock code is enough.

Only around half the architectures actually implement 8-bit
and 16-bit cmpxchg() and xchg(), it might even be worth trying
to eventually change the interface to not do it at all, but
instead have explicit cmpxchg8() and cmpxchg16() helpers
for the few files that do use them.
