locking/pvqspinlock: Order pv_unhash() after cmpxchg() on unlock slowpath

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.

Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().

This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.
