s390/ctl_reg: make __ctl_load a full memory barrier

We have quite a lot of code that depends on the order of the
__ctl_load inline assemby and subsequent memory accesses, like
e.g. disabling lowcore protection and the writing to lowcore.

Since the __ctl_load macro does not have memory barrier semantics, nor
any other dependencies the compiler is, theoretically, free to shuffle
code around. Or in other words: storing to lowcore could happen before
lowcore protection is disabled.

In order to avoid this class of potential bugs simply add a full
memory barrier to the __ctl_load macro.
