doc: Update memory-barriers.txt for read-to-write dependencies
The memory-barriers.txt document contains an obsolete passage stating that smp_read_barrier_depends() is required to force ordering for read-to-write dependencies. We now know that this is not required, even for DEC Alpha. This commit therefore updates this passage to state that read-to-write dependencies are respected even without smp_read_barrier_depends().
