[RFC 02/12] locking, rwsem: drop explicit memory barriers

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

sh and xtensa seem to be the only architectures which use explicit
memory barriers for rw_semaphore operations even though they are not
really needed because there is the full memory barrier is always implied
by atomic_{inc,dec,add,sub}_return resp. cmpxchg. Remove them.
