Yeah, it might be prudent to put stuff like that in the most fitting
headers from the get-go as it causes trouble otherwise. And for
ACCESS_ONCE, in particular, we have tools/include/linux/compiler.h which
is a subset of include/linux/compiler.h so maybe it should go there.

Btw, why aren't we simply including include/linux/compiler.h
in tools/include/linux/compiler.h and be done with the whole
compiler-related stuff?
