From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

We don't have native hw xchg16 instruction, so let qspinlock
generic code to deal with it.

Using the full-word atomic xchg instructions implement xchg16 has
the semantic risk for atomic operations.

This patch cancels the dependency of on qspinlock generic code on
architecture's xchg16.

Also no need when PPC_LBARX_LWARX is enabled, see the link below.
