smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(): update Documentation
When adding the _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic
operations, it was forgotten to update Documentation/memory_barrier.txt:
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() is now intended for all RMW operations
that do not imply a memory barrier.
1)
smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_add();
2)
smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_xchg_relaxed();
3)
smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_fetch_add_relaxed();
Invalid would be:
smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_set();
In addition, the patch splits the long sentence into multiple shorter
sentences.
