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(). Fixes: |

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.
