rcu,locking: Privatize smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()

RCU is the only thing that uses smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), and is
likely the only thing that ever will use it, so this commit makes this
macro private to RCU.

-With smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), the two critical sections cannot overlap.
-For example, with the following code, the store to *A will always be
-seen by other CPUs before the store to *B:
-
-        *A = a;

-The operations will always occur in one of the following orders:
-
-        STORE *A, RELEASE, ACQUIRE, smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), STORE *B
-        STORE *A, ACQUIRE, RELEASE, smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), STORE *B

-If the RELEASE and ACQUIRE were instead both operating on the same lock

 Locks and semaphores may not provide any guarantee of ordering on UP compiled
