From
Subject[PATCH 4/6] ipc/msg.c: Update and document memory barriers.
Date
Transfer findings from ipc/mqueue.c:
- A control barrier was missing for the lockless receive case
So in theory, not yet initialized data may have been copied
to user space - obviously only for architectures where
control barriers are not NOP.

- use smp_store_release(). In theory, the refount
may have been decreased to 0 already when wake_q_add()
tries to get a reference.
