Subject: ARC: add smp barriers around atomics per Documentation/atomic_ops.txt

commit 2576c28e3f623ed401db7e6197241865328620ef upstream.

 - arch_spin_lock/unlock were lacking the ACQUIRE/RELEASE barriers
   Since ARCv2 only provides load/load, store/store and all/all, we need
   the full barrier

 - LLOCK/SCOND based atomics, bitops, cmpxchg, which return modified
   values were lacking the explicit smp barriers.

 - Non LLOCK/SCOND varaints don't need the explicit barriers since that
   is implicity provided by the spin locks used to implement the
   critical section (the spin lock barriers in turn are also fixed in
   this commit as explained above
