[PATCH 4.20 79/88] MIPS: fix truncation in __cmpxchg_small for short values

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Clark <michaeljclark@mac.com>

commit 94ee12b507db8b5876e31c9d6c9d84f556a4b49f upstream.

__cmpxchg_small erroneously uses u8 for load comparison which can
be either char or short. This patch changes the local variable to
u32 which is sufficiently sized, as the loaded value is already
masked and shifted appropriately. Using an integer size avoids
any unnecessary canonicalization from use of non native widths.

This patch is part of a series that adapts the MIPS small word
atomics code for xchg and cmpxchg on short and char to RISC-V.
