    tools/memory-model: Fix smp_mb__after_spinlock() spelling
    
    A misspelled git-grep regex revealed that smp_mb__after_spinlock()
    was misspelled in explanation.txt.
    
    This commit adds the missing "_" to smp_mb__after_spinlock().
    
    Fixes: 1c27b644c0fd ("Automate memory-barriers.txt; provide Linux-kernel memory model")
