NeilBrown 15392c8cd1 nfsd: avoid races with wake_up_var()
wake_up_var() needs a barrier after the important change is made in the
var and before wake_up_var() is called, else it is possible that a wake
up won't be sent when it should.

In each case here the var is changed in an "atomic" manner, so
smb_mb__after_atomic() is sufficient.

In one case the important change (removing the lease) is performed
*after* the wake_up, which is backwards.  The code survives in part
because the wait_var_event is given a timeout.

This patch adds the required barriers and calls destroy_delegation()
*before* waking any threads waiting for the delegation to be destroyed.

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 reStructuredText 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.
