[PATCH] Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb()

Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb()

AIO's use of wait_on_bit_lock()/wake_up_bit() forgot to add a barrier
between clearing its lock bit and calling wake_up_bit() so wake_up_bit()'s
unlocked waitqueue_active() can race.  This puts AIO's use in line with the
others and the comment above wake_up_bit().
