futex: Rename barrier references in ordering guarantees

Ingo suggested we rename how we reference barriers A and B
regarding futex ordering guarantees. This patch replaces,
for both barriers, MB (A) with smp_mb(); (A), such that:

 - We explicitly state that the barriers are SMP, and

 - We standardize how we reference these across futex.c
   helping readers follow what barrier does what and where.
