Subject: [PATCH v3 09/12] locking/barriers: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for load-acquire macros

Passing volatile-qualified pointers to the asm-generic implementations of
the load-acquire macros results in a re-load from the stack due to the
temporary result variable inheriting the volatile semantics thanks to the
use of 'typeof()'.

Define these temporary variables using 'unqual_scalar_typeof' to drop
the volatile qualifier in the case that they are scalar types.
