Subject: sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q

[ Upstream commit 4c4e3731564c8945ac5ac90fc2a1e1f21cb79c92 ]

Notable cmpxchg() does not provide ordering when it fails, however
wake_q_add() requires ordering in this specific case too. Without this
it would be possible for the concurrent wakeup to not observe our
prior state.

Andrea Parri provided:

  C wake_up_q-wake_q_add

  {
	int next = 0;
	int y = 0;
  }

  P0(int *next, int *y)
  {
	int r0;

	/* in wake_up_q() */

	WRITE_ONCE(*next, 1);   /* node->next = NULL */
	smp_mb();               /* implied by wake_up_process() */
	r0 = READ_ONCE(*y);
  }

  P1(int *next, int *y)
  {
	int r1;

	/* in wake_q_add() */

	WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1);      /* wake_cond = true */
	smp_mb__before_atomic();
	r1 = cmpxchg_relaxed(next, 1, 2);
  }

  exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0)

  This "exists" clause cannot be satisfied according to the LKMM:

  Test wake_up_q-wake_q_add Allowed
  States 3
  0:r0=0; 1:r1=1;
  0:r0=1; 1:r1=0;
  0:r0=1; 1:r1=1;
  No
  Witnesses
  Positive: 0 Negative: 3
  Condition exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0)
  Observation wake_up_q-wake_q_add Never 0 3
