[PATCH 2/3] KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Use unlock variant with memory barrier

We switch to unlock variant with memory barriers in the error path
and also in code path where we had implicit dependency on previous
functions calling lwsync/ptesync. In most of the cases we don't really
need an explicit barrier, but using the variant make sure we don't make
mistakes later with code movements. We also document why a
non-barrier variant is ok in performance critical path.
