Subject: [PATCH 6/6] [RESEND] drm/amdgpu: work around llvm bug #42576

Code in the amdgpu driver triggers a bug when using clang to build
an arm64 kernel:

/tmp/sdma_v4_0-f95fd3.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/sdma_v4_0-f95fd3.s:44: Error: selected processor does not support `bfc w0,#1,#5'

I expect this to be fixed in llvm soon, but we can also work around
it by inserting a barrier() that prevents the optimization.

Apparently this bug is still present in both the released clang-9
and the current development version of clang-10.
I was hoping we would not need a workaround in clang-9+, but
it seems that we do.
