[PATCH 1/7] ipc/sem.c: Remove smp_rmb() from complexmode_enter()

[Manfred Spraul]

complexmode_enter() contains an smp_rmb() after spin_unlock_wait().
This was done to allow safe backporting.

Commit 2c6100227116 ("locking/qspinlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait() some more")
(and the commits for the other archs) ensure that spin_unlock_wait()
is an ACQUIRE.
Therefore the smp_rmb() after spin_unlock_wait() can be removed.

Not for stable!
