libbpf_util.h header was recently exposed as public as a dependency of
xsk.h. In addition to memory barriers, it contained logging helpers,
which are not supposed to be exposed. This patch moves those into
libbpf_internal.h, which is kept as an internal header.

Having a helpful compile time warning in libbpf_util.h is not a good
idea since all warnings are treated as errors. Change this into a
comment in the code instead.

The full memory barrier in the XDP socket rings on the consumer side
between the load of the data and the store of the consumer ring is
there to protect the store from being executed before the load of the
data. If this was allowed to happen, the producer might overwrite the
data field with a new entry before the consumer got the chance to read
it.
On x86, stores are guaranteed not to be reordered with older loads, so
it does not need a full memory barrier here. A compile time barrier
would be enough. This patch introdcues a new primitive in
libbpf_util.h that implements a new barrier type (libbpf_smp_rwmb)
hindering stores to be reordered with older loads. It is then used in
the XDP socket ring access code in libbpf to improve performance.

The use of smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() creates a Linux header dependency
on barrier.h that is unnecessary in most parts. This patch implements
the two small defines that are needed from barrier.h. As a bonus, the
new implementations are faster than the default ones as they default
to sfence and lfence for x86, while we only need a compiler barrier in
our case. Just as it is when the same ring access code is compiled in
the kernel.
