The impl_opaque field is shared between the timer arm and cancel
operations. Meanwhile, the state flag acts as a guard variable to
make sure the update of impl_opaque is synchronized. The original
code uses rte_smp barriers to achieve that. This patch uses C11
atomics with an explicit one-way memory barrier instead of full
barriers rte_smp_w/rmb() to avoid the unnecessary barrier on aarch64.
Since compilers can generate the same instructions for volatile and
non-volatile variable in C11 __atomics built-ins, so remain the volatile
keyword in front of state enum to avoid the ABI break issue.
