Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/5] documentation: memory-barriers.txt: Correct example for reorderings

From: Pranith Kumar <bobby.prani@...il.com>

Correct the example of memory orderings in memory-barriers.txt

Commit 615cc2c9cf95 "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: fix important typo re
memory barriers" changed the assignment to x and y. Change the rest of the
example to match this change.

 The set of accesses as seen by the memory system in the middle can be arranged
 in 24 different combinations:

 and can thus result in four different combinations of values:
