powerpc: Add smp_mb()s to arch_spin_unlock_wait()
Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with spin_unlock_wait(). We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock. It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it ACQUIRE semantics.
