asm-generic variant of smp_store_mb() calls mb() which is stronger than implied by both the name and the documentation. smp_store_mb is only used by core kernel code at the moment, so we know no one mis-uses it for an MMIO barrier. Make it call smp_mb consistently before some arch-specific code uses it as such by mistake. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
