It might be good enough on x86 with just READ_ONCE, but the write side
should then at least be WRITE_ONCE because x86 has total store order.
It's definitely not enough on arm.
Fix this proplery, which means
- explain the need for the barrier in both places
- point at the other side in each comment
Also pull out the !sched_list case as the first check, so that the
code flow is clearer.
While at it sprinkle some comments around because it was very
non-obvious to me what's actually going on here and why.
Note that we really need full barriers here, at first I thought
store-release and load-acquire on ->last_scheduled would be enough,
but we actually requiring ordering between that and the queue state.
v2: Put smp_rmp() in the right place and fix up comment (Andrey)
