sched/core: Use smp_mb() in wake_woken_function()



wake_woken_function() synchronizes with wait_woken() as follows:

  [wait_woken]                       [wake_woken_function]

  entry->flags &= ~wq_flag_woken;    condition = true;
  smp_mb();                          smp_wmb();
  if (condition)                     wq_entry->flags |= wq_flag_woken;
     break;

This commit replaces the above smp_wmb() with an smp_mb() in order to
guarantee that either wait_woken() sees the wait condition being true
or the store to wq_entry->flags in woken_wake_function() follows the
store in wait_woken() in the coherence order (so that the former can
eventually be observed by wait_woken()).

The commit also fixes a comment associated to set_current_state() in
wait_woken(): the comment pairs the barrier in set_current_state() to
the above smp_wmb(), while the actual pairing involves the barrier in
set_current_state() and the barrier executed by the try_to_wake_up()
in wake_woken_function().
