Andy Ross c3046f417a kernel/sched: Use new barrier and spin APIs
The switch_handle field in the thread struct is used as an atomic flag
between CPUs in SMP, and has been known for a long time to technically
require memory barriers for correct operation.  We have an API for
that now, so put them in:

* The code immediately before arch_switch() needs a write barrier to
  ensure that thread state written by the scheduler is seen to happen
  before the outgoing thread is flagged with a valid switch handle.

* The loop in z_sched_switch_spin() needs a read barrier at the end,
  to make sure the calling context doesn't load state from before the
  other CPU stored the switch handle.

Also, that same spot in switch_spin was spinning with interrupts held,
which means it needs a call to arch_spin_relax() to avoid a FPU state
deadlock on some architectures.
