btrfs: Fix deadlock caused by missing memory barrier
Commit 06297d8c ("btrfs: switch extent_buffer blocking_writers from atomic to int") changed the type of blocking_writers but forgot to adjust relevant code in btrfs_tree_unlock by converting the smp_mb__after_atomic to smp_mb. This opened up the possibility of a deadlock due to re-ordering of setting blocking_writers and checking/waking up the waiter. This particular lockup is explained in a comment above waitqueue_active() function. Fix it by converting the memory barrier to a full smp_mb, accounting for the fact that blocking_writers is a simple integer.
