[PATCH] futex: remove unneeded barrier

When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from
mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to
me.  So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not
needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().
