ipc/sem.c: document and update memory barriers

Document and update the memory barriers in ipc/sem.c:

- Add smp_store_release() to wake_up_sem_queue_prepare() and
  document why it is needed.

- Read q->status using READ_ONCE+smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep().
  as the pair for the barrier inside wake_up_sem_queue_prepare().

- Add comments to all barriers, and mention the rules in the block
  regarding locking.

- Switch to using wake_q_add_safe().
