Marco Elver 0ca20d699b arm64: Fix non-atomic __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y ...

[ Upstream commit bb0c99e08a ]

The implementation of __READ_ONCE() under CONFIG_LTO=y incorrectly
qualified the fallback "once" access for types larger than 8 bytes,
which are not atomic but should still happen "once" and suppress common
compiler optimizations.

The cast `volatile typeof(__x)` applied the volatile qualifier to the
pointer type itself rather than the pointee. This created a volatile
pointer to a non-volatile type, which violated __READ_ONCE() semantics.

Fix this by casting to `volatile typeof(*__x) *`.

With a defconfig + LTO + debug options build, we see the following
functions to be affected:

	xen_manage_runstate_time (884 -> 944 bytes)
	xen_steal_clock (248 -> 340 bytes)
	  ^-- use __READ_ONCE() to load vcpu_runstate_info structs
