parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792377 commit 3b885ac1 upstream. Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue unnecessary barriers. The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers. The __ldcw() define is both a hardware and compiler barrier. The mb() barriers in the routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose. The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock(). We need to ensure all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.
