locking/x86: Use mb() around clflush()
The following commit: f8e617f4582995f ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs") adds memory barriers around clflush(), but this seems wrong for UP since barrier() has no effect on clflush(). We really want MFENCE, so switch to mb() instead. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
