vfs: elide smp_mb in iversion handling in the common case

Browse Source 
According to bpftrace on these routines most calls result in cmpxchg,
which already provides the same guarantee.

In inode_maybe_inc_iversion elision is possible because even if the
wrong value was read due to now missing smp_mb fence, the issue is going
to correct itself after cmpxchg. If it appears cmpxchg wont be issued,
the fence + reload are there bringing back previous behavior.
