[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 13/15] mm/ksm: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends()

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Because READ_ONCE() now implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), the
smp_read_barrier_depends() in get_ksm_page() is now redundant.
This commit removes it and updates the comments.
