[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 15/15] keyring: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends()

[Paul E. McKenney]

Now that the associative-array library properly heads dependency chains,
the various smp_read_barrier_depends() calls in security/keys/keyring.c
are no longer needed.  This commit therefore removes them.
