[PATCH 1/4] powerpc: Make mmiowb a wmb

mmiowb must ensure MMIO stores inside a spin lock critical section on
one CPU will not be seen by the device after another CPU takes the
same lock and performs MMIOs.

This just requires cache inhibited stores to be ordered with the store
to unlock the spinlock, so wmb() can be used.
