[ARM] 3210/1: add missing memory barrier helper for NPTL support
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Strictly speaking, the NPTL kernel helpers are required for pre ARMv6
only. They are available on ARMv6+ as well for obvious compatibility
reasons. However there are cases where extra memory barriers are needed
when using an SMP ARMv6 machine but not on pre-ARMv6.
This patch adds a memory barrier kernel helper that glibc can use as
needed for pre-ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with an SMP
kernel on ARMv6, as well as the necessary dmb instructions to the
cmpxchg helper.
