Recently lockless_dereference() was added which can be used in place of
hard-coding smp_read_barrier_depends(). The following PATCH makes the change.

I replaced the inline functions dereferencing pointer 'x' to use
lockless_dereference() because of which we do not need to litter the code with
smp_read_barrier_depends().
