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.

I think using the qr form (like 'our $Attribute' and
a bunch of others) is the general style that should
be used for checkpatch.

Thanks - that's what I did in the new version (included in
v3 of the arch cleanup patchset now).
