[PATCH] powerpc/fsl-book3e: Avoid lbarx on e5500

lbarx/stbcx. are implemented on e6500, but not on e5500.
Likewise, SMT is on e6500, but not on e5500.

So, avoid executing an unimplemented instruction by only locking
when needed (i.e. in the presence of SMT).

This fixes a regression that was introduced in v4.5-rc1.
