locks: ensure proper barriers are used with atomic ops when necessary
Unclear how, but the locking routine for mutexes was using the *release*
barrier instead of acquire. This must have been either a copy-pasto or bad
completion.
Going through other uses of atomics shows no barriers in:
- upgrade routines (addressed in this patch)
- sections protected with turnstile locks - this should be fine as necessary barriers are in the worst case provided by turnstile unlock
I would like to thank Mark Millard and andreast@ for reporting the problem and
testing previous patches before the issue got identified.
