ARC: atomics: Add compiler barrier to atomic operations...

... to avoid unwanted gcc optimizations

SMP kernels fail to boot with commit 596ff4a09b89
("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations").

|
| percpu: BUG: failure at mm/percpu.c:2981/pcpu_build_alloc_info()!
|

The write operation performed by the SCOND instruction in the atomic
inline asm code is not properly passed to the compiler. The compiler
cannot correctly optimize a nested loop that runs through the cpumask
in the pcpu_build_alloc_info() function.

Fix this by add a compiler barrier (memory clobber in inline asm).

Apparently atomic ops used to have memory clobber implicitly via
surrounding smp_mb(). However commit b64be6836993c431e
("ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants") removed the smp_mb() for
the relaxed variants, but failed to add the explicit compiler barrier.
