ipc/msg.c: update and document memory barriers
Transfer findings from ipc/mqueue.c: - A control barrier was missing for the lockless receive case So in theory, not yet initialized data may have been copied to user space - obviously only for architectures where control barriers are not NOP. - use smp_store_release(). In theory, the refount may have been decreased to 0 already when wake_q_add() tries to get a reference.
