SMP-only barriers were missing in checkpatch.pl

Refactor code slightly to make adding more variants easier.

I think using map, which so far checkpatch doesn't use,
makes smp_barriers harder to understand and it'd be
better to enumerate them.
Okay - I'll rewrite using foreach.

It would be better to use /\b$all_barriers\s*\(/
as there's no reason for the capture and there
could be a space between the function and the
open parenthesis.
That's the way it was - space before ( will trigger other
warnings. But sure, ok.
