bcache: optimize barrier usage for atomic operations
The idea of this patch is from Davidlohr Bueso, he posts a patch for bcache to optimize barrier usage for read-modify-write atomic bitops. Indeed such optimization can also apply on other locations where smp_mb() is used before or after an atomic operation. This patch replaces smp_mb() with smp_mb__before_atomic() or smp_mb__after_atomic() in btree.c and writeback.c, where it is used to synchronize memory cache just earlier on other cores. Although the locations are not on hot code path, it is always not bad to mkae things a little better.
