I wonder whether you really meant to remove smp_mb__after_spinlock():
on the one hand, this primitive doesn't seem "obsolete" (as suggested
by the commit message); on the other hand, the Draft Specification at

  https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=151218405830993&w=2

suggests that you need "to strengthen" the generic implementation for
this primitive (considered the current spinlock.h in riscv).  What am
I missing?
