[RFC PATCH for 4.14 1/2] membarrier: Remove unused code for architectures without membarrier hooks

Architectures without membarrier hooks don't need to emit the
empty membarrier_arch_switch_mm() static inline when
CONFIG_MEMBARRIER=y.

Adapt the CONFIG_MEMBARRIER=n counterpart to only emit the empty
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() for architectures with membarrier hooks.
