selftests: KVM: Handle compiler optimizations in ucall

[ Upstream commit 9e2f6498

 ]

The selftests, when built with newer versions of clang, is found
to have over optimized guests' ucall() function, and eliminating
the stores for uc.cmd (perhaps due to no immediate readers). This
resulted in the userspace side always reading a value of '0', and
causing multiple test failures.

As a result, prevent the compiler from optimizing the stores in
ucall() with WRITE_ONCE().
