Subject: [PATCH/RFC] asm-generic/mutex-dec.h: add SMP support

To make these guys work on SMP systems, we just need to sprinkle a few
barriers around.

note: this is what the Blackfin SMP port is using, but it doesn't seem
like other SMP ports are ... so I wonder if we're just trying too hard
and these barriers aren't actually necessary ?
