locking/x86: Use mb() around clflush()

Browse Source 
The following commit:

  f8e617f4582995f ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs")

adds memory barriers around clflush(), but this seems wrong for UP since
barrier() has no effect on clflush().  We really want MFENCE, so switch
to mb() instead.
