membarrier: Provide core serializing command, *_SYNC_CORE
Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim by JIT. Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before going back to user-space). They should then select ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on their architecture. Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space, or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().
