membarrier: Add an actual barrier before rseq_preempt()
It seems that most RSEQ membarrier users will expect any stores done before the membarrier() syscall to be visible to the target task(s). While this is extremely likely to be true in practice, nothing actually guarantees it by a strict reading of the x86 manuals. Rather than providing this guarantee by accident and potentially causing a problem down the road, just add an explicit barrier.
