[PATCH v4 5/5] MCS Lock: Allow architecture specific memory barrier in lock/unlock

[Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>]

This patch moves the decision of what kind of memory barriers to be
used in the MCS lock and unlock functions to the architecture specific
layer. It also moves the actual lock/unlock code to mcs_spinlock.c
file.

A full memory barrier will be used if the following macros are not
defined:
 1) smp_mb__before_critical_section()
 2) smp_mb__after_critical_section()

For the x86 architecture, only compiler barrier will be needed.
