target-sparc: fix ldstub sign-extension bug
ldstub [addr], reg incorrectly reads a signed byte from memory which causes problems in the 32-bit Solaris mutex code. Here the byte value being read is 0xff which is incorrectly sign-extended to 0xffffffff before being written back to the target register causing lock detection to behave incorrectly. This fixes the intermittent hangs and MUTEX_HELD warnings issued to the console when running 32-bit Solaris images under qemu-system-sparc. With thanks to Joseph Dery for providing a condensed test image to consistently reproduce the problem on demand, and Martin Husemann for allowing me access to real hardware for comparison.
