    rmlock: Add a required compiler membar to the rlock slow path
    
    The tracker flags need to be loaded only after the tracker is removed
    from its per-CPU queue.  Otherwise, readers may fail to synchronize with
    pending writers attempting to propagate priority to active readers, and
    readers and writers deadlock on each other.  This was observed in a
    stable/12-based armv7 kernel where the compiler had reordered the load
    of rmp_flags to before the stores updating the queue.
