Replace ACCESS_ONCE() macro in smp_store_release() and smp_load_acquire() with WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() on x86, arm, arm64, ia64, metag, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc and asm-generic since ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types.
.. and there are no restrictions on the argument to smp_load_acquire(), so it may be a non-scalar type. Though from a quick grep it looks like no one is doing that at the moment?
WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() were introduced in the commits 230fa253df63
("kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE") and 43239cbe79fc ("kernel:
Change ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x) to WRITE_ONCE(x, val)").
