	* internals.h: Define MEMORY_BARRIER as empty if not defined already.
	* spinlock.c (__pthread_lock): Add memory barriers.
	(__pthread_unlock): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/alpha/pt-machine.h (MEMORY_BARRIER): Define using mb
	instruction.
	(RELEASE): Not needed anymore.
	(__compare_and_swap): Mark asm as modifying memory.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/pt-machine.h (sync): Remove.  Replace with definition
	of MEMORY_BARRIER.
	(__compare_and_swap): Use MEMORY_BARRIER instead of sync.
	* sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/pt-machine.h (RELEASE): Not needed anymore.
	(MEMORY_BARRIER): Define using stbar.
	* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/pt-machine.h (MEMORY_BARRIER): Define using
	stbar.
	(__compare_and_swap): Use MEMORY_BARRIER to ensure ordering.
	Patch by Xavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr> based on comments by
	Mike Burrows <m3b@pa.dec.com>.
