ipc/mqueue.c: update/document memory barriers
Update and document memory barriers for mqueue.c:
- ewp->state is read without any locks, thus READ_ONCE is required.
- add smp_aquire__after_ctrl_dep() after the READ_ONCE, we need
acquire semantics if the value is STATE_READY.
- use wake_q_add_safe()
- document why __set_current_state() may be used:
Reading task->state cannot happen before the wake_q_add() call,
which happens while holding info->lock. Thus the spin_unlock()
is the RELEASE, and the spin_lock() is the ACQUIRE.
For completeness: there is also a 3 CPU scenario, if the to be woken
up task is already on another wake_q.
Then:
- CPU1: spin_unlock() of the task that goes to sleep is the RELEASE
- CPU2: the spin_lock() of the waker is the ACQUIRE
- CPU2: smp_mb__before_atomic inside wake_q_add() is the RELEASE
- CPU3: smp_mb__after_spinlock() inside try_to_wake_up() is the ACQUIRE
