LU-14713 llite: mend the trunc_sem_up_write()

The original lli_trunc_sem replace change (commit e5914a61ac) fixed a
lock scenario:

t1 (page fault)          t2 (dio read)              t3 (truncate)
|- vm_mmap_pgoff()       |- vvp_io_read_start()     |- vvp_io_setattr
|- down_write(mmap_sem)  |- down_read(trunc_sem)            _start()
|- do_map()              |- ll_direct_IO_impl()
|- vvp_io_fault_start    |- ll_get_user_pages()

 |- down_write(
 |- down_read(mmap_sem)        trunc_sem)
|- down_read(trunc_sem)

t1 waits for read semaphore of trunc_sem which is hindered by t3,
since t3 is waiting for the write semaphore while t2 take its read
semaphore,and t2 is waiting for mmap_sem which has been taken by t1,
and a deadlock ensues.

commit e5914a61ac changes the down_read(trunc_sem) to
trunc_sem_down_read_nowait() in page fault path, to make it ignore
that there is a down_write(trunc_sem) waiting, just takes the read
semaphore if no writer has taken the semaphore, and breaks the
deadlock.

But there is a delicacy in using wake_up_var(), wake_up_var()->
__wake_up_bit()->waitqueue_active() locklessly test for waiters on the
queue, and if it's called without explicit smp_mb() it's possible for
the waitqueue_active() to ge hoisted before the condition store such
that we'll observe an empty wait list and the waiter might not
observe the condition, and the waiter won't get woke up whereafter.
