Commit 3ccfebedd8cf ("powerpc, membarrier: Skip memory barrier in
switch_mm()") added some logic to skip the smp_mb() in
switch_mm_irqs_off() before the call to switch_mmu_context().
However, on non SMP smp_mb() is just a compiler barrier and doing
it inconditionaly is simpler than the logic used to check
whether the barrier is needed or not.

Applied to powerpc/next.
