selftests/bpf: fix implementation of smp_mb()
As BPF doesn't include any barrier instructions, smp_mb() is implemented
by doing a dummy value returning atomic operation. Such an operation
acts a full barrier as enforced by LKMM and also by the work in progress
BPF memory model.
If the returned value is not used, clang[1] can optimize the value
returning atomic instruction in to a normal atomic instruction which
provides no ordering guarantees.
Mark the variable as volatile so the above optimization is never
performed and smp_mb() works as expected.
