dm: use ACCESS_ONCE for sysfs values
Use the ACCESS_ONCE macro in dm-bufio and dm-verity where a variable can be modified asynchronously (through sysfs) and we want to prevent compiler optimizations that assume that the variable hasn't changed. (See Documentation/atomic_ops.txt.) Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
