This primitive has been renamed, but because it was spelled incorrectly in the
first place it must have escaped the fixup patch. As far as I can tell this
logic is still correct: smp_mb__after_spinlock() uses the default smp_mb()
implementation, which is "sync" rather than "hwsync" but those are the same
(though I'm not that familiar with PowerPC).
