Cleanup commit 73679e508201 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.

However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.

Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
statements.

I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
cleanup would be simplest option.
