[S390] etr: Add barrier() to etr_sync_cpu_start().
Force reading of *in_sync in while loop. Loops where the content that is checked for is changed by a different cpu always should have some sort of barrier() semantics. Otherwise this might lead to very subtle bugs. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
