/dev/mem: Add missing memory barriers for devmem_inode
WRITE_ONCE() isn't the correct way to publish a pointer to a data structure, since it doesn't include a write memory barrier. Therefore other tasks may see that the pointer has been set but not see that the pointed-to memory has finished being initialized yet. Instead a primitive with "release" semantics is needed. Use smp_store_release() for this. The use of READ_ONCE() on the read side is still potentially correct if there's no control dependency, i.e. if all memory being "published" is transitively reachable via the pointer itself. But this pairing is somewhat confusing and error-prone. So just upgrade the read side to smp_load_acquire() so that it clearly pairs with smp_store_release().
