kernel: make READ_ONCE() valid on const arguments
[ Upstream commit dd36929720f40f17685e841ae0d4c581c165ea60 ] The use of READ_ONCE() causes lots of warnings witht he pending paravirt spinlock fixes, because those ends up having passing a member to a 'const' structure to READ_ONCE(). There should certainly be nothing wrong with using READ_ONCE() with a const source, but the helper function __read_once_size() would cause warnings because it would drop the 'const' qualifier, but also because the destination would be marked 'const' too due to the use of 'typeof'. Use a union of types in READ_ONCE() to avoid this issue. Also make sure to use parenthesis around the macro arguments to avoid possible operator precedence issues.
