Subject: [PATCH] compiler-intel: fix wrong compiler barrier() macro

Cleanup commit 23ebdedc67e ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.

However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier,
meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with inline
asm is still in place when __GNUC__ is provided.

Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier()
from compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if
we trust the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc
specific asm statements. I don't have an ecc at hand, so a revert
of that cleanup would be the safest option, imho, as it has been
like this since pre-git times.

Fixes: 73679e508201 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate definition")
