drivers/dma/ioat: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that READ_ONCE() implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), the
__cleanup() and ioat_abort_descs() functions no longer need their
smp_read_barrier_depends() calls, which this commit removes.
It is actually not entirely clear why this driver ever included
smp_read_barrier_depends() given that it appears to be x86-only and
given that smp_read_barrier_depends() has no effect whatsoever except
on DEC Alpha.
