Subject: [PATCHv7 2/2] memory barrier: adding smp_mb__after_lock

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 00:10:31 +0200

Adding smp_mb__after_lock define to be used as a smp_mb call after
a lock.

Making it nop for x86, since {read|write|spin}_lock() on x86 are
full memory barriers.
