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.
