fs: add missing fences to I_NEW handling
Suppose there are 2 CPUs racing inode hash lookup func (say ilookup5())
and unlock_new_inode().
In principle the latter can clear the I_NEW flag before prior stores
into the inode were made visible.
The former can in turn observe I_NEW is cleared and proceed to use the
inode, while possibly reading from not-yet-published areas.
