[PATCH] Make cpu_relax() imply barrier() on all arches

During the recent discussion of taking 'volatile' off of the spinlock, I
noticed that while most arches #define cpu_relax() such that it implies
barrier(), some arches define cpu_relax() to be empty.

This patch changes the definition of cpu_relax() for frv, h8300, m68knommu,
sh, sh64, v850 and xtensa from an empty while(0) to the compiler barrier().
