Subject: [PATCH] x86/locking: Use sfence for wmb() if SSE is available

When adding cc clobber to wmb()'s definition, the alternative()
condition to use sfence was incorrectly raised from X86_FEATURE_XMM to
X86_FEATURE_XMM2.

Restore the correct constraint for potential better performance on
machines without SSE2.
