Subject: [PATCH 3/3] MIPS: bugfix - replace smp_mb with release barrier
 function in unlocks

Repleace smp_mb() in arch_write_unlock() and __clear_bit_unlock() to
smp_mb__before_llsc() call which does "release" barrier functionality.

It seems like it was missed in commit f252ffd50c97dae87b45f1dbad24f71358ccfbd6
during introduction of "acquire" and "release" semantics.
