[PATCH 1/2] locking/xchg/alpha: Use smp_mb() in place of __ASM__MB

Replace each occurrence of __ASM__MB with a (trailing) smp_mb() in xchg(), cmpxchg(), and remove the now unused __ASM__MB definitions; this improves readability, with no additional synchronization cost. Suggested-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri
