btrfs: remove pointless barrier from btrfs_sync_file()
The memory barrier (smp_mb()) at btrfs_sync_file() is completely redundant now that fs_info->last_trans_committed is read using READ_ONCE(), with the helper btrfs_get_last_trans_committed(), and written using WRITE_ONCE() with the helper btrfs_set_last_trans_committed(). This barrier was introduced in 2011, by commit a4abeea4 ("Btrfs: kill trans_mutex"), but even back then it was not correct since the writer side (in btrfs_commit_transaction()), did not issue a pairing memory barrier after it updated fs_info->last_trans_committed. So remove this barrier. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
