[PATCH v2 4/5] doc/memory-barriers: Insert white spaces consistently

[SeongJae Park]

The document uses two newlines between sections, one newline between
item and its detailed description, and two spaces between sentences.
However, there is few point that missed the rule.  This commit fix them
to use the rule consistently.

 Aside: In the case of data dependencies, the compiler would be expected
 to issue the loads in the correct order (eg. `a[b]` would have to load
 the value of b before loading a[b]), however there is no guarantee in
 the C specification that the compiler may not speculate the value of b
 (eg. is equal to 1) and load a before b (eg. tmp = a[1]; if (b != 1)
