[PATCH] tb-maint: do not use mb_read/mb_set

[PATCH] tb-maint: do not use mb_read/mb_set

[Paolo Bonzini]

The load side can use a relaxed load, which will surely happen before
the work item is run by async_safe_run_on_cpu() or before double-checking
under mmap_lock.  The store side can use an atomic RMW operation.
