SMP-only barriers were missing in checkpatch.pl

Refactor code slightly to make adding more variants easier.

If I use a variable called $smp_barriers, I'd expect
it to actually be the smp_barriers, not to have to
prefix it with smp_ before using it.

		my $smp_barriers = qr{
			smp_store_release|
			smp_load_acquire|
			smp_store_mb|
			smp_read_barrier_depends
That's missing (?:barriers) too.

btw: shouldn't this also have
	smp_mb__(?:before|after)_atomic
?
