Bug 225465 – Reduce use of dmb ish on ARM64

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Filip Pizlo]

We use loadLoadFence a lot, often in situations like:

Foo* ptr = loadStuff;
loadLoadFence();
use ptr

On ARM64, we don't need a dmb ish here.  We also use loadLoadFence in some places where I can't actually think of any good reason for the fence other than paranoia.
