Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
"This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
stack protector is enabled"
[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.
That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.
This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require. - Linus ]
