During an IPI procedure, we need to ensure all previous write operations
are visible to other CPUs before sending a real IPI. We use wmb() barrier
to ensure this as ACLINT SSWI issues IPI via mmio writes.

Same comment as PATCH3.

The thead_aclint_sswi_ipi_send() is called through ipi_mux_send_mask()
which does smp_mb__after_atomic() before calling so no need
for any barrier here. Also, barriers need to be in-pair so adding
a single barrier at random location is inappropriate.
(Refer, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/kernel/irq/ipi-mux.c?h=v6.13-rc7#n78)

Based on the above, this patch is not needed.
