btrfs: Fix memory barriers usage with device stats counters
Commit addc3fa74e5b ("Btrfs: Fix the problem that the dirty flag of dev stats is cleared") reworked the way device stats changes are tracked. A new atomic dev_stats_ccnt counter was introduced which is incremented every time any of the device stats counters are changed. This serves as a flag whether there are any pending stats changes. However, this patch only partially implemented the correct memory barriers necessary: - It only ordered the stores to the counters but not the reads e.g. btrfs_run_dev_stats - It completely omitted any comments documenting the intended design and how the memory barriers pair with each-other This patch provides the necessary comments as well as adds a missing smp_rmb in btrfs_run_dev_stats. Furthermore since dev_stats_cnt is only a snapshot at best there was no point in reading the counter twice - once in btrfs_dev_stats_dirty and then again when assigning stats_cnt. Just collapse both reads into 1.
