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.
