3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 35848f68b07df3f917cb13fc3c134718669f569b ]

Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host
wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for
UP guest.
