Linus Torvalds c5b2063c65 sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier
commit 944d5fe50f 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.
