tracepoint: Remove smp_read_barrier_depends() from comment

Browse Source 
The comment in tracepoint_add_func() mentions smp_read_barrier_depends(),
whose use should be quite restricted.  This commit updates the comment
to instead mention the smp_store_release() and rcu_dereference_sched()
that the current code actually uses.
