bpf, libbpf: use correct barriers in perf ring buffer walk
Given libbpf is a generic library and not restricted to x86-64 only,
the compiler barrier in bpf_perf_event_read_simple() after fetching
the head needs to be replaced with smp_rmb() at minimum. Also, writing
out the tail we should use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.
Now that we have the logic in place in ring_buffer_read_head() and
ring_buffer_write_tail() helper also used by perf tool which would
select the correct and best variant for a given architecture (e.g.
x86-64 can avoid CPU barriers entirely), make use of these in order
to fix bpf_perf_event_read_simple().
Fixes: d0cabbb021be ("tools: bpf: move the event reading loop to libbpf")
Fixes: 39111695b1b8 ("samples: bpf: add bpf_perf_event_output example")
