Introducing two macro helpers u64_32read() and u64_32read_set_copy() to
factorize the u64 vminruntime and last_update_time read on a 32-bits
architecture. Those new helpers encapsulate smp_rmb() and smp_wmb()
synchronization and therefore, have a small penalty in set_task_rq_fair()
and init_cfs_rq().
The choice of using a macro over an inline function is driven by the
conditional u64 variable copy declarations.
#ifndef CONFIG_64BIT
u64 [vminruntime|last_update_time]_copy;
#endif

I've run it on 32-bit ARM big.LITTLE platform (odroid xu3) with
the CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED and CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED.
I haven't observed any issues while running hackbench or booting
the kernel, the performance of affected function
set_task_rq_fair() is the same.
Function profile results after hackbench test:
