Volatile has no ordering semantics. The rte_timer structure defines
timer status as a volatile variable and uses the rte_r/wmb barrier
to guarantee inter-thread visibility.
This patch optimized the volatile operation with c11 atomic operations
and one-way barrier to save the performance penalty. According to the
timer_perf_autotest benchmarking results, this patch can uplift 10%~16%
timer appending performance, 3%~20% timer resetting performance and 45%
timer callbacks scheduling performance on aarch64 and no loss in
performance for x86.
