Davidlohr Bueso ffa571dafb ipc,msg: document barriers
Both expunge_all() and pipeline_send() rely on both a nil msg value and
a full barrier to guarantee the correct ordering when waking up a task.

While its counterpart at the receiving end is well documented for the
lockless recv algorithm, we still need to document these specific
smp_mb() calls.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix typo, per Mike]
