[GIT PULL v2 3/5] s390: make cpu_relax a barrier again

stop_machine seemed to be the only important place for yielding during
cpu_relax. This was fixed by using cpu_relax_yield. Therefore, we can
now redefine cpu_relax to be a barrier instead on s390, making s390
identical to all other architectures.
