Subject: [PATCH 02/17] tools headers: Restore READ_ONCE() C++ compatibility

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

Our userspace <linux/compiler.h> defines READ_ONCE() in a way that clang
doesn't like, as we have an anonymous union in which neither field is
initialized.

WRITE_ONCE() is fine since it initializes the __val field. For
READ_ONCE() we can keep clang and GCC happy with a dummy initialization
of the __c field, so let's do that.

At the same time, let's split READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() over several
lines for legibility, as we do in the in-kernel <linux/compiler.h>.
