Add barrier() and barrier_var() macros into bpf_helpers.h to be used by end users. While a bit advanced and specialized instruments, they are sometimes indispensable. Instead of requiring each user to figure out exact asm volatile incantations for themselves, provide them from bpf_helpers.h. Also remove conflicting definitions from selftests. Some tests rely on barrier_var() definition being nothing, those will still work as libbpf does the #ifndef/#endif guarding for barrier() and barrier_var(), allowing users to redefine them, if necessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
