compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()

There are no longer any kernelspace uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), so we can
remove the definition from <linux/compiler.h>.

This patch removes the ACCESS_ONCE() definition, and updates comments
which referred to it. At the same time, some inconsistent and redundant
whitespace is removed from comments.
