Add compiler barriers around modifications of the robust mutex list.
Any changes to the per-thread list of robust mutexes currently acquired as well as the pending-operations entry are not simply sequential code but basically concurrent with any actions taken by the kernel when it tries to clean up after a crash. This is not quite like multi-thread concurrency but more like signal-handler concurrency. This patch fixes latent bugs by adding compiler barriers where necessary so that it is ensured that the kernel crash handling sees consistent data. This is meant to be easy to backport, so we do not use C11-style signal fences yet. * nptl/descr.h (ENQUEUE_MUTEX_BOTH, DEQUEUE_MUTEX): Add compiler barriers and comments. * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c (__pthread_mutex_lock_full): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c (pthread_mutex_timedlock): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_unlock.c (__pthread_mutex_unlock_full): Likewise.
