rcu/tree: segcblist: Remove redundant smp_mb()s
The full memory barriers in rcu_segcblist_enqueue() and in rcu_do_batch() are not needed because rcu_segcblist_add_len(), and thus also rcu_segcblist_inc_len(), already includes a memory barrier *before* and *after* the length of the list is updated. This commit therefore removes these redundant smp_mb() invocations.
