memcg, slab: fix barrier usage when accessing memcg_caches

Each root kmem_cache has pointers to per-memcg caches stored in its
memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  Whenever we want to allocate a slab
for a memcg, we access this array to get per-memcg cache to allocate
from (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The access must be lock-free for
performance reasons, so we should use barriers to assert the kmem_cache
is up-to-date.

First, we should place a write barrier immediately before setting the
pointer to it in the memcg_caches array in order to make sure nobody
will see a partially initialized object.  Second, we should issue a read
barrier before dereferencing the pointer to conform to the write
barrier.

However, currently the barrier usage looks rather strange.  We have a
write barrier *after* setting the pointer and a read barrier *before*
reading the pointer, which is incorrect.  This patch fixes this.
