LU-11616 llite: replace smp_wb() with full memory barrier
While porting the smp_mb() patch from LU-9210 to the linux clients
Neil asked that the smp_wb() be replaced with the full memory
barrier functions smp_store_release() and smp_load_acquire(). For
this case _sa_make_ready() sets the entry->se_state and
revalidate_statahead_dentry() tests the value of entry->se_state
after waiting on sai_waitq. This change will make it obvious which
variable was important, and would show the paired synchronization
points. An additional benefit is that code will work on platforms
that are not "total store order" TSO architectures like PowerPC.
