3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrea Parri <redacted>

commit a0934fd2b1208458e55fc4b48f55889809fce666 upstream.

This barrier only applies to the read-modify-write operations; in
particular, it does not apply to the atomic_set() primitive.

Replace the barrier with an smp_mb().
