ipc/msg.c: update and document memory barriers
Transfer findings from ipc/mqueue.c:
- A control barrier was missing for the lockless receive case So in
theory, not yet initialized data may have been copied to user space -
obviously only for architectures where control barriers are not NOP.
- use smp_store_release(). In theory, the refount may have been
decreased to 0 already when wake_q_add() tries to get a reference.
