[PATCH 08/34] asm-generic: smp_store_mb should use smp_mb

Michael S. Tsirkin

asm-generic variant of smp_store_mb() calls mb() which is stronger
than implied by both the name and the documentation.

smp_store_mb is only used by core kernel code at the moment, so
we know no one mis-uses it for an MMIO barrier.
Make it call smp_mb consistently before some arch-specific
code uses it as such by mistake.
