drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c uses
full memory barriers to communicate with the other side.
For guests compiled with CONFIG_SMP, smp_wmb and smp_mb
would be sufficient, so mb() and wmb() here are only needed if
a non-SMP guest runs on an SMP host.
Switch to __smp_XXX barriers which serve this exact purpose.

This is straight-forward, but untested.
I can either merge this patchset through my tree if this is
acked, or defer this and merge the patchset first,
and xen bits through xen tree afterwards.
Pls let me know.
