bcache: optimize barrier usage for atomic operations

The idea of this patch is from Davidlohr Bueso, he posts a patch
for bcache to optimize barrier usage for read-modify-write atomic
bitops. Indeed such optimization can also apply on other locations
where smp_mb() is used before or after an atomic operation.

This patch replaces smp_mb() with smp_mb__before_atomic() or
smp_mb__after_atomic() in btree.c and writeback.c,  where it is used
to synchronize memory cache just earlier on other cores. Although
the locations are not on hot code path, it is always not bad to mkae
things a little better.
