checkpatch: check for __smp outside barrier.h
Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from using it (as happened with other arch stuff before.) Add a checkpatch test so it will trigger a warning. Reported-by: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
