When issuing barrier instructions like DSB or DMB, we must make sure that the compiler does not undermine out efforts to fence off instructions. Currently the compiler is free to move the barrier instruction around, in respect to former or later memory access statements, which is not what we want. Add a compiler barrier to the inline assembly statement in our DEFINE_SYSOP_TYPE_FUNC macro, to make sure memory accesses are not reordered by the compiler. This is in line with Linux' definition: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h Since those instructions share a definition, apart from DSB and DMB this now also covers some TLBI instructions. Having a compiler barrier there also is useful, although we probably have stronger barriers in place already.
