I think that this meaning of actmon_write_barrier() keeps
the order of 'store' assembly command without the execution change
from compiler optimization by using the wmb().

But, this patch edits it as following:
The result of the following two cases are same?

[original code]
        wmb()
        read_relaxed()

[new code by this patch]
        readl_relaxed()
        rmb()
