[PATCH v4 1/7] sched/fair: Provide u64 read for 32-bits arch helper

[Vincent Donnefort]

Introducing macro helpers u64_u32_{store,load}() to factorize lockless
accesses to u64 variables for 32-bits architectures.

Users are for now cfs_rq.min_vruntime and sched_avg.last_update_time. To
accommodate the later where the copy lies outside of the structure
(cfs_rq.last_udpate_time_copy instead of sched_avg.last_update_time_copy),
use the _copy() version of those helpers.

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().
