watchdog: fix barriers when printing backtraces from all CPUs

Any parallel softlockup reports are skipped when one CPU is already
printing backtraces from all CPUs.

The exclusive rights are synchronized using one bit in
soft_lockup_nmi_warn.  There is also one memory barrier that does not make
much sense.

Use two barriers on the right location to prevent mixing two reports.
