[PATCH v8 4/4] qrwlock: Use smp_store_release() in write_unlock()

[Waiman Long]

This patch modifies the queue_write_unlock() function to use the
new smp_store_release() function in another pending patch. It also
removes the temporary implementation of smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() function in qrwlock.c.

This patch should only be merged if PeterZ's linux-arch patch patch
was merged.
