From: pan xinhui <xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() can't tell us what codes use {cmp}xchg
in incorrect way.  And no error will be reported until the link stage.
To fix such a kind of issues easily, we use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() here.

change from V1:
	use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to provide more build error messages.
