Block core changes to switch bio-based IO accounting to be percpu had a
side-effect of altering DM core to now rely on calling waitqueue_active
(in both bio-based and request-based) to check if another task is in
dm_wait_for_completion().
A memory barrier is needed before calling waitqueue_active(). DM core
doesn't piggyback on a preceding memory barrier so it must explicitly
use its own.
For more details on why using waitqueue_active() without a preceding
barrier is unsafe, please see the comment before the waitqueue_active()
definition in include/linux/wait.h.
Add the missing memory barrier by switching to using wq_has_sleeper().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
