arm64 sys_membarrier number is already wired for arm64 through
asm-generic/unistd.h, but needs to be allocated separately for
the 32-bit compability layer of arm64.

[ Untested on this architecture. To try it out: fetch linux-next/akpm,
 apply this patch, build/run a membarrier-enabled kernel, and do make
 kselftest. ]

sys_membarrier has been merged into Linux 4.3-rc1. sys_membarrier can therefore
be tested on top of Linus' master.

Just to say that I'm happy to merge this once arch/arm/ also has the
syscall wired up. It'd be a bit weird to have the support in the arm64
compat layer but not the arch/arm/ native kernel!
