Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb()
AIO's use of wait_on_bit_lock()/wake_up_bit() forgot to add a barrier between
clearing its lock bit and calling wake_up_bit() so wake_up_bit()'s unlocked
waitqueue_active() can race. This puts AIO's use in line with the others
and the comment above wake_up_bit().
Please apply.
