arm64: barrier: Restore spec_bar() macro
[ Upstream commit ebfc726eae3f31bdb5fae1bbd74ef235d71046ca ]
Upcoming errata workarounds will need to use SB from C code. Restore the
spec_bar() macro so that we can use SB.
This is effectively a revert of commit:
4f30ba1cce36d413 ("arm64: barrier: Remove spec_bar() macro")
