commit 42f51fb24fd39cc547c086ab3d8a314cc603a91c upstream.
... 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
