Now that 'smp_read_barrier_depends()' has gone the way of the Norwegian
Blue, drop the inclusion of <asm/barrier.h> in 'asm-generic/rwonce.h'.
This requires fixups to some architecture vdso headers which were
previously relying on 'asm/barrier.h' coming in via 'linux/compiler.h'.

Alpha overrides __READ_ONCE() directly, so there's no need to use
smp_read_barrier_depends() in the core code. This also means that
__READ_ONCE() can be relied upon to provide dependency ordering.

The meat and potatoes of READ_ONCE() is defined by the __READ_ONCE()
macro, which uses a volatile casts in an attempt to avoid tearing of
byte, halfword, word and double-word accesses. Allow this to be
overridden by the architecture code in the case that things like memory
barriers are also required.

In preparation for allowing architectures to define their own
implementation of the READ_ONCE() macro, move the generic
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() definitions out of the unwieldy 'linux/compiler.h'
file and into a new 'rwonce.h' header under 'asm-generic'.
