[S390] etr: Add barrier() to etr_sync_cpu_start().

[S390] etr: Add barrier() to etr_sync_cpu_start().

Force reading of *in_sync in while loop. Loops where the content that
is checked for is changed by a different cpu always should have some
sort of barrier() semantics.
Otherwise this might lead to very subtle bugs.
