[MIPS] Cleanup memory barriers for weakly ordered systems.
Also the R4000 / R4600 LL/SC instructions imply a sync so no explicit sync needed. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

12 * read_barrier_depends - Flush all pending reads that subsequents reads
13 * depend on.
14 *
15 * No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
16 * over this barrier. All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
17 * to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
18 * reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
19 * any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than
20 * rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
21 * rmb().
22 *
23 * These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
24 * and the compiler.
25 *
26 * Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
27 * not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for
28 * memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
29 *
30 * For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
31 * value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
32 *
33 * <programlisting>
34 * CPU 0 CPU 1
35 *
36 * b = 2;
37 * memory_barrier();
38 * p = &b; q = p;
39 * read_barrier_depends();
40 * d = *q;
41 * </programlisting>
42 *
43 * because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
44 * two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However,
45 * the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
46 *
47 * <programlisting>
48 * CPU 0 CPU 1
49 *
50 * a = 2;
51 * memory_barrier();
52 * b = 3; y = b;
53 * read_barrier_depends();
54 * x = a;
55 * </programlisting>
56 *
57 * does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
58 * the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such
59 * as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. Use rmb()
60 * in cases like this where there are no data dependencies.
