Given that READ_ONCE() now implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), there is no need for the open-coded smp_read_barrier_depends() in mn10300_serial_receive_interrupt() and mn10300_serial_poll_get_char(). This commit therefore removes them, but replaces them with comments calling out that carrying dependencies through non-pointers is quite dangerous. Compilers simply know too much about integers.
