futex: Replace barrier() in unqueue_me() with READ_ONCE()
Commit e91467ecd1ef ("bug in futex unqueue_me") introduced a barrier() in unqueue_me() to prevent the compiler from rereading the lock pointer which might change after a check for NULL. Replace the barrier() with a READ_ONCE() for the following reasons: 1) READ_ONCE() is a weaker form of barrier() that affects only the specific load operation, while barrier() is a general compiler level memory barrier. READ_ONCE() was not available at the time when the barrier was added. 2) Aside of that READ_ONCE() is descriptive and self explainatory while a barrier without comment is not clear to the casual reader. No functional change.
