Vikram reported that his ARM64 compiler managed to 'optimize' away the
preempt_count manipulations in code like:
preempt_enable_no_resched();
put_user();
preempt_disable();
Irrespective of that fact that that is horrible code that should be
fixed for many reasons, it does highlight a deficiency in the generic
preempt_count manipulators. As it is never right to combine/elide
preempt_count manipulations like this.
Therefore sprinkle some volatile in the two generic accessors to
ensure the compiler is aware of the fact that the preempt_count is
observed outside of the regular program-order view and thus cannot be
optimized away like this.
x86; the only arch not using the generic code is not affected as we
do all this in asm in order to use the segment base per-cpu stuff.
