wake_up_var() needs a barrier after the important change is made in the var and before wake_up_var() is called, else it is possible that a wake up won't be sent when it should. In each case here the var is changed in an "atomic" manner, so smb_mb__after_atomic() is sufficient. In one case the important change (removing the lease) is performed *after* the wake_up, which is backwards. The code survives in part because the wait_var_event is given a timeout. This patch adds the required barriers and calls destroy_delegation() *before* waking any threads waiting for the delegation to be destroyed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
