Subject: [PATCH 3/3] alpha: atomics: Add smp_read_barrier_depends() to release/relaxed atomics

As part of the fight against smp_read_barrier_depends(), we require
dependency ordering to be preserved when a dependency is headed by a load
performed using an atomic operation.

This patch adds smp_read_barrier_depends() to the _release and _relaxed
atomics on alpha, which otherwise lack anything to enforce dependency
ordering.
