rcu: Avoid misordering in nocb_leader_wait()

Browse Source 
The NOCB follower wakeup ordering depends on the store to the tail
pointer happening before the wakeup.  However, because atomic_long_add()
does not return a value, it does not provide ordering guarantees, and
the locking in wake_up() only guarantees that the store will happen
before the unlock, which might be too late.  Even though this is only a
theoretical issue, this commit adds a smp_mb__after_atomic() after the
final atomic_long_add() to provide the needed ordering guarantee.
