documentation: Fix circular-buffer example.

The code sample in Documentation/circular-buffers.txt appears to have a
few ordering bugs.  This patch therefore applies the needed fixes.

-Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever
-is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head
-index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs.
+Note that wake_up() does not guarantee any sort of barrier unless something
+is actually awakened.  We therefore cannot rely on it for ordering.  However,
+there is always one element of the array left empty.  Therefore, the
+producer must produce two elements before it could possibly corrupt the
+element currently being read by the consumer.  Therefore, the unlock-lock
+pair between consecutive invocations of the consumer provides the necessary
+ordering between the read of the index indicating that the consumer has
+vacated a given element and the write by the producer to that same element.
