Correct the example of memory orderings in memory-barriers.txt

Commit 615cc2c9cf "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: fix important typo re

The set of accesses as seen by the memory system in the middle can be arranged
in 24 different combinations:
STORE A=3, STORE B=4, x=LOAD A->3, y=LOAD B->4
STORE A=3, STORE B=4, y=LOAD B->4, x=LOAD A->3
STORE A=3, x=LOAD A->3, STORE B=4, y=LOAD B->4
STORE A=3, x=LOAD A->3, y=LOAD B->2, STORE B=4
STORE A=3, y=LOAD B->2, STORE B=4, x=LOAD A->3
STORE A=3, y=LOAD B->2, x=LOAD A->3, STORE B=4
STORE B=4, STORE A=3, x=LOAD A->3, y=LOAD B->4
STORE A=3, STORE B=4, y=LOAD A->3, x=LOAD B->4
STORE A=3, STORE B=4, x=LOAD B->4, y=LOAD A->3
STORE A=3, y=LOAD A->3, STORE B=4, x=LOAD B->4
STORE A=3, y=LOAD A->3, x=LOAD B->2, STORE B=4
STORE A=3, x=LOAD B->2, STORE B=4, y=LOAD A->3
STORE A=3, x=LOAD B->2, y=LOAD A->3, STORE B=4
STORE B=4, STORE A=3, y=LOAD A->3, x=LOAD B->4
STORE B=4, ...
...
and can thus result in four different combinations of values:
x == 1, y == 2
x == 1, y == 4
x == 3, y == 2
x == 3, y == 4
x == 2, y == 1
x == 2, y == 3
x == 4, y == 1
x == 4, y == 3
Furthermore, the stores committed by a CPU to the memory system may not be
