parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h

Browse Source 
commit 3b885ac1dc35b87a39ee176a6c7e2af9c789d8b8 upstream.

Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue
unnecessary barriers.

The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers.  The __ldcw()
define is both a hardware and compiler barrier.  The mb() barriers in the
routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose.

The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock().  We need to ensure
all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.
