__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 kinds of issues in a easy way, we use BUILD_BUG() here.

Maybe we can use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(1, "Unsupported size for xchg"), which
could provide more information.

With or without this verbosity:

Yes I would prefer there was a message. Please send a v2.
