blk-mq: Fix a race between bt_clear_tag() and bt_get()
What we need is the following two guarantees: * Any thread that observes the effect of the test_and_set_bit() by __bt_get_word() also observes the preceding addition of 'current' to the appropriate wait list. This is guaranteed by the semantics of the spin_unlock() operation performed by prepare_and_wait(). Hence the conversion of test_and_set_bit_lock() into test_and_set_bit(). * The wait lists are examined by bt_clear() after the tag bit has been cleared. clear_bit_unlock() guarantees that any thread that observes that the bit has been cleared also observes the store operations preceding clear_bit_unlock(). However, clear_bit_unlock() does not prevent that the wait lists are examined before that the tag bit is cleared. Hence the addition of a memory barrier between clear_bit() and the wait list examination.
