    atomics: introduce smp_mb__[after|before]_atomic() barriers
    
    When using atomic variables for synchronization barriers are needed
    to ensure proper data serialization. Introduce smp_mb__before_atomic()
    and smp_mb__after_atomic() as in the Linux kernel for that purpose.
    
    Use the same definitions as in the Linux kernel.
