add barriers to buffer_uptodate and set_buffer_uptodate

Browse Source 
Let's have a look at this piece of code in __bread_slow:

	get_bh(bh);
	bh->b_end_io = end_buffer_read_sync;
	submit_bh(REQ_OP_READ, 0, bh);
	wait_on_buffer(bh);
	if (buffer_uptodate(bh))
		return bh;

Neither wait_on_buffer nor buffer_uptodate contain any memory barrier.
Consequently, if someone calls sb_bread and then reads the buffer data,
the read of buffer data may be executed before wait_on_buffer(bh) on
architectures with weak memory ordering and it may return invalid data.

Fix this bug by adding a memory barrier to set_buffer_uptodate and an
acquire barrier to buffer_uptodate (in a similar way as
folio_test_uptodate and folio_mark_uptodate).
