x86/atomic: Fix smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()
Recent probing at the Linux Kernel Memory Model uncovered a
'surprise'. Strongly ordered architectures where the atomic RmW
primitive implies full memory ordering and
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() are a simple barrier() (such as x86)
fail for:
*x = 1;
atomic_inc(u);
smp_mb__after_atomic();
r0 = *y;
Because, while the atomic_inc() implies memory order, it
(surprisingly) does not provide a compiler barrier. This then allows
the compiler to re-order like so:
atomic_inc(u);
*x = 1;
smp_mb__after_atomic();
r0 = *y;
Which the CPU is then allowed to re-order (under TSO rules) like:
atomic_inc(u);
r0 = *y;
*x = 1;
And this very much was not intended. Therefore strengthen the atomic
RmW ops to include a compiler barrier.
NOTE: atomic_{or,and,xor} and the bitops already had the compiler
barrier.
