    kernel - Fix memory ordering race
    
    * Fix a race in the mtx wait/wakeup code for situations where the
      releasing thread hands lock ownership to the waiter.  In this
      situation the waiter can sometimes succeed without having to do
      additional atomic ops.  However, this also allows speculative reads
      by the waiting cpu to preceed the lock handover.
    
    * Add an mfence to fix this problem.  Add a few cpu_sfence()s (which
      are basically NOPs on Intel) to clarify other bits of code too.
