rcu: make memory barriers more explicit

Browse source 
Prepare for introducing smp_mb_placeholder() and smp_mb_global().
The new smp_mb() in synchronize_rcu() is not strictly necessary, since
the first atomic_mb_set for rcu_gp_ctr provides the required ordering.
However, synchronize_rcu is not performance critical, and it *will* be
necessary to introduce a smp_mb_global before calling wait_for_readers().
