[PATCH v2 30/32] virtio_ring: update weak barriers to use __smp_XXX

virtio ring uses smp_wmb on SMP and wmb on !SMP,
the reason for the later being that it might be
talking to another kernel on the same SMP machine.

This is exactly what __smp_XXX barriers do,
so switch to these instead of homegrown ifdef hacks.
