The memory barrier (smp_mb()) at btrfs_sync_file() is completely redundant
now that fs_info->last_trans_committed is read using READ_ONCE(), with the
helper btrfs_get_last_trans_committed(), and written using WRITE_ONCE()
with the helper btrfs_set_last_trans_committed().
This barrier was introduced in 2011, by commit
a4abeea41adf ("Btrfs: kill
trans_mutex"), but even back then it was not correct since the writer side
(in btrfs_commit_transaction()), did not issue a pairing memory barrier
after it updated fs_info->last_trans_committed.
So remove this barrier.
