The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding
for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used
by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a
compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM.

This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address
of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting
the compiler to take care of making the call.

Patch taken against tip/master.
