rcu: Fix and comment ordering around wait_event()
It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily
imply a full memory barrier. The case where it does not is where the
condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution.
This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves
locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a
lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event()
returns).
Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a
full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case. This commit
also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers
relied on by wait_event() calls.
