futex: Rename barrier references in ordering guarantees
Ingo suggested we rename how we reference barriers A and B
regarding futex ordering guarantees. This patch replaces,
for both barriers, MB (A) with smp_mb(); (A), such that:
- We explicitly state that the barriers are SMP, and
- We standardize how we reference these across futex.c
helping readers follow what barrier does what and where.
