rcu: Avoid misordering in nocb_leader_wait() The NOCB follower wakeup ordering depends on the store to the tail pointer happening before the wakeup. However, because atomic_long_add() does not return a value, it does not provide ordering guarantees, and the locking in wake_up() only guarantees that the store will happen before the unlock, which might be too late. Even though this is only a theoretical issue, this commit adds a smp_mb__after_atomic() after the final atomic_long_add() to provide the needed ordering guarantee.
