[NET]: Memory barrier cleanups
I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so
therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used.
I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be
dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a
memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply
a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry.
It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is
needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page?
