This won't work either, and should generate a compile or link error
on CONFIG_X86_32.

The auto-sizing done by __cmpxchg() does not substitute the cmpxchg8b
instruction for the cmpxchg instruction. __X86_CASE_Q is defined as -1 for
CONFIG_X86_32 so the 8-byte size variant is dead-code, and calls
__cmpxchg_wrong_size() instead.
