For memory accesses with write-combining attributes (e.g. those returned

subsequent ones. But in some situation, such wait is bad for the
performance.

We introduce io_stop_wc() to prevent the merging of write-combining
memory accesses before this macro with those after it.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/misc), thanks!

[1/1] asm-generic: introduce io_stop_wc() and add implementation for ARM64
