Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Fix a typo in the data dependency description
This typo has been there forever, it is 7.5 years old, looks like this section of our memory ordering documentation is a place where most eyes are glazed over already ;-) [ Also fix some stray spaces and stray tabs while at it, shrinking the file by 49 bytes. Visual output unchanged. ] Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Paul E.
