 Log Message:
 sparc64: Optimization: Omit needless membar when triggering softint.
 
 When we are triggering a softint, it can't already hold any mutexes.
 So any path to mutex_exit(mtx) must go via mutex_enter(mtx), which is
 always done with atomic r/m/w, and we need not issue any explicit
 barrier between ci->ci_curlwp = softlwp and a potential load of
 mtx->mtx_owner in mutex_exit.
