Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.

So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their
argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have
different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a
ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or
closure_return()).

Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros
as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.

As pointed out by Linus, closure_sync() was racy; we could skip blocking
immediately after a get() and a put(), but then that would skip any
barrier corresponding to the other thread's put() barrier.

To fix this, always do the full __closure_sync() sequence whenever any
get() has happened and the closure might have been used by other
threads.

atomic_(dec|sub)_return_release() are a thing now - use them.

Also, delete the useless barrier in set_closure_fn(): it's redundant
with the memory barrier in closure_put(0.

Since closure_put() would now otherwise just have a release barrier, we
also need a new barrier when the ref hits 0 -
smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep().
