vmscan: add barrier to prevent evictable page in unevictable list

When a race between putback_lru_page() and shmem_lock with lock=0 happens,
progrom execution order is as follows, but clear_bit in processor #1 could
be reordered right before spin_unlock of processor #1.  Then, the page
would be stranded on the unevictable list.

spin_lock
SetPageLRU
spin_unlock
                                clear_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
                                spin_lock
                                if PageLRU()
                                        if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
                                        	move evictable list
smp_mb
if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
        move evictable list
                                spin_unlock

But, pagevec_lookup() in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() has
rcu_read_[un]lock() so it could protect reordering before reaching
test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE) on processor #1 so this problem never happens.
But it's a unexpected side effect and we should solve this problem
properly.

This patch adds a barrier after mapping_clear_unevictable.

I didn't meet this problem but just found during review.
