net: sched: add barrier to ensure correct ordering for lockless qdisc



The spin_trylock() was assumed to contain the implicit
barrier needed to ensure the correct ordering between
STATE_MISSED setting/clearing and STATE_MISSED checking
in commit a90c57f2 ("net: sched: fix packet stuck
problem for lockless qdisc").

But it turns out that spin_trylock() only has load-acquire
semantic, for strongly-ordered system(like x86), the compiler
barrier implicitly contained in spin_trylock() seems enough
to ensure the correct ordering. But for weakly-orderly system
(like arm64), the store-release semantic is needed to ensure
the correct ordering as clear_bit() and test_bit() is store
operation, see queued_spin_lock().

So add the explicit barrier to ensure the correct ordering
for the above case.
