Subject: [PATCH v3 41/41] s390: more efficient smp barriers

As per: lkml.kernel.org/r/20150921112252.3c2937e1@...hwide
atomics imply a barrier on s390, so s390 should change
smp_mb__before_atomic and smp_mb__after_atomic to barrier() instead of
smp_mb() and hence should not use the generic versions.
