Subject: [PATCH tip/sched/membarrier 4/5] membarrier: Remove unused code for architectures without membarrier hooks

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@...icios.com>

Architectures without membarrier hooks don't need to emit the
empty membarrier_arch_switch_mm() static inline when
CONFIG_MEMBARRIER=y.

Adapt the CONFIG_MEMBARRIER=n counterpart to only emit the empty
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() for architectures with membarrier hooks.
