The return value of __invalid_xchg_size() is assigned to tmp instead of

Thanks for your patch!

Fixes: 803f69144f0d ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for M68K")

That is not the right commit.  The issue was introduced before:
Fixes: 2501cf768e4009a0 ("m68k: Fix xchg/cmpxchg to fail to link if
given an inappropriate pointer")

Although this was not a real bug (__invalid_xchg_size() does not exist,
but is referenced to cause a deliberate link error), it is good to
clean this up.

Thank you for explaining this. I was already wondering why I couldn't 
find the function definition.
