mm: add missing release barrier on PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED unlock
The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.
It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which
provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within
__node_reclaim().
It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering
with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit.
The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within
__node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from
a prior node reclaim. This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g.
x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g. arm64).
Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic.
This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).
