[Linux-m32r:00049] [PATCH 2.6.16-rc3] m32r: __cmpxchg_u32 fix

This patch fixes a bug of include/asm-m32r/system.h:__cmpxchg_u32().

  static __inline__ unsigned long
  __cmpxchg_u32(volatile unsigned int *p, unsigned int old, unsigned int new);

In __cmpxchg_u32(), the "old" value must not be changed to the previous "*p"
value.  But the former code modifies the previous "*p" value.

A deadlock at _atomic_dec_and_lock sometimes happened due to this bug.

Please apply this patch.

Thanks,
