arm64: barriers: fix smp_load_acquire to work with const arguments
A newly introduced function in include/net/sock.h passes a const argument to smp_load_acquire: static inline int sk_state_load(const struct sock *sk) { return smp_load_acquire(&sk->sk_state); } This cause an allmodconfig build failure, since our underlying load-acquire implementation does not handle const types correctly: include/net/sock.h: In function 'sk_state_load': ./arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h:71:3: error: read-only variable '___p1' used as 'asm' output asm volatile ("ldarb %w0, %1" \ This patch fixes the problem by reusing the trick in READ_ONCE that loads via a non-const member of an anonymous union. This has the advantage of allowing us to use smp_load_acquire on packed structures (e.g. arch_spinlock_t) as well as primitive types.
