.nf disables filling and adjusting; .fi re-enables them:

https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/Manipulating-Filling-and-Adjusting.html

In membarrier.2's SYNOPSIS section, there's just a single short line in
each paragraph, so it makes no difference.

It does make a difference in futex.2.
