btrfs: Relax memory barrier in btrfs_tree_unlock

When performing an unlock on an extent buffer we'd like to order the
decrement of extent_buffer::blocking_writers with waking up any
waiters. In such situations it's sufficient to use smp_mb__after_atomic
rather than the heavy smp_mb. On architectures where atomic operations
are fully ordered (such as x86 or s390) unconditionally executing
a heavyweight smp_mb instruction causes a severe hit to performance
while bringin no improvements in terms of correctness.

The better thing is to use the appropriate smp_mb__after_atomic routine
which will do the correct thing (invoke a full smp_mb or in the case
of ordered atomics insert a compiler barrier). Put another way,
an RMW atomic op + smp_load__after_atomic equals, in terms of
semantics, to a full smp_mb. This ensures that none of the problems
described in the accompanying comment of waitqueue_active occur.
No functional changes.
