[PATCH] eal/ppc: fix rte_smp_mb for a compilation error with else clause

[Gowrishankar]

From: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch fixes the compilation problem with rte_smp_mb,
when there is else clause following it, as in test_barrier.c.

Fixes: 05c3fd7110 ("eal/ppc: atomic operations for IBM Power")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Maintainers and reviewers, 18.02 build on ppc64 is currently broken and
I'd like to backport this patch to Debian ASAP and then backport to
16.11, so a quick review would be much much appreciated. Thank you!
