From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ac38297f7038cd5b80d66f8809c7bbf5b70031f3 ] Oleg noticed that our checking of data.got_token is unsafe in the cleanup case, and should really use a memory barrier. Use a wmb on the write side, and a rmb() on the read side. We don't need one in the main loop since we're saved by set_current_state().
