[PATCH] drm/amd: work around llvm bug #42576

Code in the amdgpu driver triggers a bug when using clang to build
an arm64 kernel:

/tmp/sdma_v4_0-f95fd3.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/sdma_v4_0-f95fd3.s:44: Error: selected processor does not support `bfc w0,#1,#5'

I expect this to be fixed in llvm soon, but we can also work around
it by inserting a barrier() that prevents the optimization.

Sending this for completeness, please decide for yourselves whether to
apply it or not, given that it's a trivial workaround but probably not
needed in the long run.
