MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.
Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are documented as needing write barrier semantics. The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(), so there are no changes in semantics. Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just barrier() in the non-SMP case.
