On s390 read_barrier_depends, smp_read_barrier_depends
smp_store_mb(), smp_mb__before_atomic and smp_mb__after_atomic match the
asm-generic variants exactly. Drop the local definitions and pull in
asm-generic/barrier.h instead.

This is in preparation to refactoring this code area.

As per:

  lkml.kernel.org/r/20150921112252.3c2937e1@mschwide

s390 should change this to barrier() instead of smp_mb() and hence
should not use the generic versions.
Thanks Peter!

OK so I will just rename this to __smp_mb__before_atomic and
__smp_mb__after_atomic but keep them around.

I'm not changing these - that's best left to s390 maintainers.

Should I add a TODO comment to change them to barrier so
we don't forget?
