futex: Replace barrier() in unqueue_me() with READ_ONCE()

commit 29b75eb2d56a714190a93d7be4525e617591077a upstream.

Commit e91467ecd1ef ("bug in futex unqueue_me") introduced a barrier() in
unqueue_me() to prevent the compiler from rereading the lock pointer which
might change after a check for NULL.

Replace the barrier() with a READ_ONCE() for the following reasons:

1) READ_ONCE() is a weaker form of barrier() that affects only the specific
   load operation, while barrier() is a general compiler level memory barrier.
   READ_ONCE() was not available at the time when the barrier was added.

2) Aside of that READ_ONCE() is descriptive and self explainatory while a
   barrier without comment is not clear to the casual reader.

No functional change.
