Series poll_wait: add mb() to fix theoretical race between waitqueue_active() and .poll() | expand

Commit Message

Oleg Nesterov Jan. 7, 2025, 4:27 p.m. UTC
Now that poll_wait() provides a full barrier we can remove smp_rmb() from
io_uring_poll().

In fact I don't think smp_rmb() was correct, it can't serialize LOADs and
STOREs.
