markers: fix markers read barrier for multiple probes

Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in
the path where multiple probes are connected.  Those are ordering reads of
"ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi"
array data access.

It should be ordered like this :

read ptype
smp_rmb()
read multi array pointer
smp_read_barrier_depends()
access data referenced by multi array pointer

The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to
allocate an array) has correct memory ordering.

It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next.
