Paul E. McKenney bfd403bb36 tools/memory-order: Update the cheat-sheet to show that smp_mb__after_atomic() orders later RMW operations
The current cheat sheet does not claim that smp_mb__after_atomic()
orders later RMW atomic operations, which it must, at least against
earlier RMW atomic operations and whatever precedes them.

This commit therefore adds the needed "Y".

Key: C: Ordering is cumulative
P: Ordering propagates
R: Read, for example, READ_ONCE(), or read portion of RMW
W: Write, for example, WRITE_ONCE(), or write portion of RMW
Y: Provides ordering
a: Provides ordering given intervening RMW atomic operation
DR: Dependent read (address dependency)
DW: Dependent write (address, data, or control dependency)
RMW: Atomic read-modify-write operation
SELF: Orders self, as opposed to accesses before and/or after
SV: Orders later accesses to the same variable
