According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg, cmpxchg and their atomic{,64}_ versions all need to imply a full barrier, however they are now just RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which is not a full barrier. So replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in __{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee a full barrier semantics of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(). This patch is a complement of commit b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics").
