Marco Elver 80d7476fa2 kcsan: Turn barrier instrumentation into macros
Some architectures use barriers in 'extern inline' functions, from which
we should not refer to static inline functions.

For example, building Alpha with gcc and W=1 shows:

./include/asm-generic/barrier.h:70:30: warning: 'kcsan_rmb' is static but used in inline function 'pmd_offset' which is not static
   70 | #define smp_rmb()       do { kcsan_rmb(); __smp_rmb(); } while (0)
      |                              ^~~~~~~~~
./arch/alpha/include/asm/pgtable.h:293:9: note: in expansion of macro 'smp_rmb'
  293 |         smp_rmb(); /* see above */
      |         ^~~~~~~

Which seems to warn about 6.7.4#3 of the C standard:
  "An inline definition of a function with external linkage shall not
   contain a definition of a modifiable object with static or thread
   storage duration, and shall not contain a reference to an identifier
   with internal linkage."

Fix it by turning barrier instrumentation into macros, which matches
definitions in <asm/barrier.h>.

Perhaps we can revert this change in future, when there are no more
'extern inline' users left.
