ARM: domains: add memory dependencies to get_domain/set_domain
We need to have memory dependencies on get_domain/set_domain to avoid the compiler over-optimising these inline assembly instructions. Loads/stores must not be reordered across a set_domain(), so introduce a compiler barrier for that assembly. The value of get_domain() must not be cached across a set_domain(), but we still want to allow the compiler to optimise it away. Introduce a dependency on current_thread_info()->cpu_domain to avoid this; the new memory clobber in set_domain() should therefore cause the compiler to re-load this. The other advantage of using this is we should have its address in the register set already, or very soon after at most call sites.
