s390/cmpxchg: make loop condition for 1,2 byte cases precise
The cmpxchg implementation for 1 and 2 bytes consists of a 4 byte cmpxchg loop. Currently, the decision to retry is imprecise, looping if bits outside the target byte(s) change instead of retrying until the target byte(s) differ from the old value. E.g. if an attempt to exchange (prev_left_0 old_bytes prev_right_0) is made and it fails because the word at the address is (prev_left_1 x prev_right_1) where both x != old_bytes and one of the prev_*_1 values differs from the respective prev_*_0 value, the cmpxchg is retried, even if by a semantic equivalent to a normal cmpxchg, the exchange would fail. Instead exit the loop if x != old_bytes and retry otherwise.
