[PATCH v2 02/11] powerpc: qspinlock: Enforce qnode writes prior to publishing to queue

[Rohan McLure <rmclure@linux.ibm.com>]

Annotate the release barrier and memory clobber (in effect, producing a
compiler barrier) in the publish_tail_cpu call. These barriers have the
effect of ensuring that qnode attributes are all written to prior to
publish the node to the waitqueue.

Even while the initial write to the 'locked' attribute is guaranteed to
terminate prior to the node being visible, KCSAN still complains that
the write is reorderable by the compiler. Issue a kcsan_release() to
inform KCSAN of the release barrier contained in publish_tail_cpu().

v2: Remove extraneous compiler barrier, but annotate release-barrier
contained in call publish_tail_cpu(), and include kcsan_release().
