locking: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() usage
With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes lockref and seqlock while at it. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.
