kvm: optimize out smp_mb after srcu_read_unlock
I noticed that srcu_read_lock/unlock both have a memory barrier,
so just by moving srcu_read_unlock earlier we can get rid of
one call to smp_mb() using smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock instead.
Unsurprisingly, the gain is small but measureable using the unit test
microbenchmark:
before
vmcall in the ballpark of 1410 cycles
after
vmcall in the ballpark of 1360 cycles
