[PATCH] Ensure calculations happen with desired rounding mode in y1lf128

math/test-float128-y1 fails on x86_64 and ppc64el with gcc 12 and -O3,
because code inside a block guarded by SET_RESTORE_ROUNDL is being moved
after the rounding mode has been restored. Use math_force_eval to
prevent this (and insert some math_opt_barrier calls to prevent code
from being moved before the rounding mode is set).

Fixes #29463

I don't know if this patch should be committed as is, although it does
fix an observed failure for me.

My read of the discussion in the gcc bug I filed about this
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=106574 is that every single
use of a SET_RESTORE_ROUND macro is vulnerable to this. I can't think of
a generic way to fix this -- I guess you could have a macro to call an
always_inline function with a rounding mode set? But that would uglify
the control flow in the code quite a bit.
