sh: Fix up xchg/cmpxchg corruption with gUSA RB.

gUSA special cases r15 for part of its login/out sequence, meaning that
any parameters need to be explicitly prohibited from accidentally being
assigned that particular register, and the compiler ultimately needs to
use a temporary instead.

Certain configurations have begun generating code paths that do indeed
get allocated r15, resulting in immediate corruption of the exchanged
value. This was observed in (amongst others) exit_mm() code generation
where the xchg_u32 call was immediately corrupting a structure address.

As this is a general gUSA restriction, the rest of the users likewise
need to be updated to ensure sensible constraints.
