CONFIG_LTO=y causes the following include chain:

include/linux/arm-smccc.h
include/linux/init.h
include/linux/compiler.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative-macros.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/assembler.h

assembler.h has the use of ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 but the init.h
include in arm-smccc.h happens before the definition, so it does not get
expanded. This completely hacky patch proves that, as the error goes
away with it:

This diff seems like a somewhat proper solution, as __READ_ONCE() cannot
be used in assembly, but I am open to other suggestions.
