[POWERPC] Make mmiowb's io_sync preempt safe

If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests,
then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always
the case.  If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0,
I believe there's no problem.  But in the unlikely event that gcc does
the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current),
then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after
it had just set it to 1.  Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that.

The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1,
which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch
itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.
