Linus Torvalds 50fb4e17df sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier
commit 944d5fe50f3f03daacfea16300e656a1691c4a23 upstream.

On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall
slowdowns for everything.  So put a lock on the path in order to
serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at
too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.
