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.
