Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tools/memory-model: remove ACCESS_ONCE() from recipes

Since commit:

  b899a850431e2dd0 ("compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()")

... there has been no definition of ACCESS_ONCE() in the kernel tree,
and it has been necessary to use READ_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() instead.

Let's update the exmaples in recipes.txt likewise for consistency, using
READ_ONCE() for reads.
