xfs: memory barrier before wake_up_bit()

In xfs_ifunlock() there is a call to wake_up_bit() after clearing
the flush lock on the xfs inode.  This is not guaranteed to be safe,
as noted in the comments above wake_up_bit() beginning with:

    waitqueue_active() internally, some kind of memory
    barrier must be done prior to calling this.
