Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Add long atomic examples to memory-barriers.txt

Although the atomic_long_t functions are quite useful, they are
a bit obscure.  This commit therefore adds the common ones
alongside their atomic_t counterparts in
Documentation/memory-barriers.txt.

 These are used for such things as implementing LOCK-class and UNLOCK-class
 operations and adjusting reference counters towards object destruction, and as
 such the implicit memory barrier effects are necessary.
