Inside sbitmap_queue_clear(), once the clear bit is set, it will be visiable to allocation path immediately. Meantime any RW on old associated instance(such as request in case of blk-mq) may be out-of-order with the setting clear bit, so use-after-free can be triggered if this tag is re-allocated. Adds one memory barrier for ordering RW on the freed associated instannce with setting clear bit for avoiding the potential use-after-free.
