[PATCH v2 1/4] membarrier: riscv: Add full memory barrier in switch_mm()

The membarrier system call requires a full memory barrier after storing
to rq->curr, before going back to user-space. The barrier is only
needed when switching between processes: the barrier is implied by
mmdrop() when switching from kernel to userspace, and it's not needed
when switching from userspace to kernel.
Rely on the feature/mechanism ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS and on the
primitive membarrier_arch_switch_mm(), already adopted by the PowerPC
architecture, to insert the required barrier.
Fixes: fab957c11efe2f ("RISC-V: Atomic and Locking Code")
