linux-user/armeb: Fix __kernel_cmpxchg() for armeb

linux-user/armeb: Fix __kernel_cmpxchg() for armeb

[Helge Deller]

Words are stored in big endian in the guest memory for armeb.

Commit 7f4f0d9ea870 ("linux-user/arm: Implement __kernel_cmpxchg with
host atomics") switched to use qatomic_cmpxchg() to swap a word with the
memory content, but missed to endianess-swap the oldval and newval
values when emulating an armeb CPU.

The bug can be verified with qemu >= v7.2 on any little-endian host,
when starting the armeb binary of the upx program, which just hangs
without this patch.

There's a similar bug with arm_kernel_cmpxchg64_helper just below, but

as far as this goes.

There was a v3 of this patch already, fwiw.
