Remove unneeded data dependency, currently imposed by

atomic_load_acq(9), on it source, for x86.

Right now, atomic_load_acq() on x86 is sequentially consistent with
other atomics, code ensures this by doing store/load barrier by
performing locked nop on the source.  Provide separate primitive
__storeload_barrier(), which is implemented as the locked nop done on
a cpu-private variable, and put __storeload_barrier() before load, to
keep seq_cst semantic but avoid introducing false dependency on the
no-modification of the source for its later use.

Note that seq_cst property of x86 atomic_load_acq() is not documented
and not carried by atomics implementations on other architectures,
although some kernel code relies on the behaviour.  This commit does
not intend to change this.
