Manfred Spraul 39323c64b8 smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(): update Documentation 
When adding the _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic
operations, it was forgotten to update Documentation/memory_barrier.txt:

smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() is now intended for all RMW operations
that do not imply a memory barrier.

1)
	smp_mb__before_atomic();
	atomic_add();

2)
	smp_mb__before_atomic();
	atomic_xchg_relaxed();

3)
	smp_mb__before_atomic();
	atomic_fetch_add_relaxed();

Invalid would be:
	smp_mb__before_atomic();
	atomic_set();

In addition, the patch splits the long sentence into multiple shorter
sentences.
