wait_on_bit: add an acquire memory barrier
There are several places in the kernel where wait_on_bit is not followed
by a memory barrier (for example, in drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:new_read).
On architectures with weak memory ordering, it may happen that memory
accesses that follow wait_on_bit are reordered before wait_on_bit and
they may return invalid data.
Fix this class of bugs by introducing a new function "test_bit_acquire"
that works like test_bit, but has acquire memory ordering semantics.
