We don't need pre-ARMv7 barriers (they've been deprecated and the arm64
kernel actually traps and emulates them by default). Also your Makefile
changes never define a __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ lower than 7. Fix-up below:

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: compat: No need for pre-ARMv7 barriers on an ARMv8
 system

This patch removes the deprecated (pre-ARMv7) compat barriers as they
would not be used on an ARMv8 system.

Fixes: a7f71a2c8903 ("arm64: compat: Add vDSO")
