We're missing memory barriers in net/sunrpc/svcsock.c in some spots we'd
expect them. But it doesn't appear they're necessary in our case, and
this is likely a hot path--for now just document the odd behavior.
Kosuke Tatsukawa found this issue while looking through the linux source
code for places calling waitqueue_active() before wake_up*(), but
without preceding memory barriers, after sending a patch to fix a
similar issue in drivers/tty/n_tty.c (Details about the original issue
can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/849).
