locking/x86: Tweak the comment about use of wmb() for IO
On x86, we *do* still use the non-NOP rmb()/wmb() for IO barriers, but even that is generally questionable. Leave them around as historial unless somebody can point to a case where they care about the performance, but tweak the comment so people don't think they are strictly required in all cases.
