From: Andrea Parri <andrea.parri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 998267900cee901c5d1dfa029a6304d00acbc29f upstream.
smp_mb__before_atomic() can not be applied to atomic_set(). Remove the
barrier and rely on RELEASE synchronization.
Fixes: ba16b2846a8c6 ("kernfs: add an API to get kernfs node from inode number")
