Subject: [PATCH 3.4 157/214] drivers: hv: switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

commit 35848f68b07df3f917cb13fc3c134718669f569b upstream.

Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host
wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for
UP guest.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Drop changes to functions that don't exist here
 - hv_ringbuffer_write() has only a write memory barrier]

[hq: Backported to 3.4:
 - Add the change in hv_ringbuffer_read]
