atomics: add explicit compiler fence in __atomic memory barriers
__atomic_thread_fence does not include a compiler barrier; in the C++11 memory model, fences take effect in combination with other atomic operations. GCC implements this by making __atomic_load and __atomic_store access memory as if the pointer was volatile, and leaves no trace whatsoever of acquire and release fences in the compiler's intermediate representation. In QEMU, we want memory barriers to act on all memory, but at the same time we would like to use __atomic_thread_fence for portability reasons. Add compiler barriers manually around the __atomic_thread_fence.
