rcu: Upgrade sync_exp_work_done() to smp_mb()
The sync_exp_work_done() function uses smp_mb__before_atomic(), but there is no obvious atomic in the ensuing code. The ordering is absolutely required for grace periods to work correctly, so this commit upgrades the smp_mb__before_atomic() to smp_mb().
