checkpatch: make the memory barrier test noisier
Peter Zijlstra prefers that comments be required near uses of memory barriers. Change the message level for memory barrier uses from a --strict test only to a normal WARN so it's always emitted. This might produce false positives around insertions of memory barriers when a comment is outside the patch context block. And checkpatch is still stupid, it only looks for existence of any comment, not at the comment content. Signed-off-by:Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Suggested-by:
