include/linux/page_ref.h: ensure page_ref_unfreeze is ordered against prior accesses

page_ref_freeze and page_ref_unfreeze are designed to be used as a pair,
wrapping a critical section where struct pages can be modified without
having to worry about consistency for a concurrent fast-GUP.

Whilst page_ref_freeze has full barrier semantics due to its use of
atomic_cmpxchg, page_ref_unfreeze is implemented using atomic_set, which
doesn't provide any barrier semantics and allows the operation to be
reordered with respect to page modifications in the critical section.

This patch ensures that page_ref_unfreeze is ordered after any critical
section updates, by invoking smp_mb() prior to the atomic_set.
