parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h
Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue unnecessary barriers. The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers.  The __ldcw() define is both a hardware and compiler barrier.  The mb() barriers in the routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose. The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock().  We need to ensure all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.
