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.
