 kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
 
 As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
 ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar accesses.
 
 Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
 
 The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data structure
 is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a warning is emitted.
 The next patches fix up several in-tree users of ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar
 types.
 
 This merge does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
 on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux next
 already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs. non-scalar types.
