sh: Conditionalize gUSA support.
This conditionalizes gUSA support. gUSA is not supported on SMP configurations, and it's not necessary there anyways due to having other atomicity options (ie, movli.l/movco.l). Anything implementing the LL/SC semantics (all SH-4A CPUs) can switch to userspace atomicity implementations without requiring gUSA. This is left default-enabled on all UP so that glibc doesn't break. Those that know what they are doing can disable this explicitly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
