x86/smp: Remove pointless wmb()s from native_stop_other_cpus()

Browse Source 
commit 2affa6d6db28855e6340b060b809c23477aa546e upstream.

The wmb()s before sending the IPIs are not synchronizing anything.

If at all then the apic IPI functions have to provide or act as appropriate
barriers.

Remove these cargo cult barriers which have no explanation of what they are
synchronizing.
