Waiman Long aff7385b5a locking/mutexes/mcs: Correct barrier usage
This patch corrects the way memory barriers are used in the MCS lock
with smp_load_acquire and smp_store_release fucnctions.  The previous
barriers could leak critical sections if mcs lock is used by itself.
It is not a problem when mcs lock is embedded in mutex but will be an
issue when the mcs_lock is used elsewhere.

The patch removes the incorrect barriers and put in correct
barriers with the pair of functions smp_load_acquire and smp_store_release.
