Subject: [PATCH v5 5/8] locking/qrwlock: implement queue_write_unlock using smp_store_release

Since 536fa402221f ("compiler: Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire()
and smp_store_release()"), smp_store_release supports byte accesses, so
use that in writer unlock and remove the conditional macro override.
