rmlock: Add a required compiler membar to the rlock slow path
The tracker flags need to be loaded only after the tracker is removed from its per-CPU queue. Otherwise, readers may fail to synchronize with pending writers attempting to propagate priority to active readers, and readers and writers deadlock on each other. This was observed in a stable/12-based armv7 kernel where the compiler had reordered the load of rmp_flags to before the stores updating the queue.
