[ARC] Prevent moving stores to the frame before the stack adjustment.
If the stack pointer is needed, emit a special barrier that will prevent
the scheduler from moving stores to the frame before the stack adjustment.
For example:
[snip]
mov_s fp,sp ; frame pointer is set here
[snip]
st r1,[fp,-24] ; frame pointer is used here
[snip]
sub_s sp,sp,0x20 ; stack pointer adjusted
So we can easily see that any interrupt between the `st` and `sub`
instruction will lead to faulty code as the interrupt routine will use
a faulty sp register, and, potentially, overwriting the value stored
by 'st' instruction. Thus, adding a scheduler barrier will force the
compiler to emit the `sub` instruction before the store one.

* config/arc/arc.c (arc_expand_prologue): Emit a special barrier
to prevent store reordering.
* config/arc/arc.md (UNSPEC_ARC_STKTIE): Define.
(type): Add block type.
(stack_tie): Define special instruction to be used in
expand_prologue.
