Replace ia64 S_UNLOCK compiler barrier with a full memory barrier.

anarazel · anarazel · commit 07cb8b02ab4c · 2015-06-29T14:53:32.000+02:00
_Asm_sched_fence() is just a compiler barrier, not a memory barrier. But
spinlock release on IA64 needs, at the very least, release
semantics. Use a full barrier instead.

This might be the cause for the occasional failures on buildfarm member
anole.
