io_uring: fix memory ordering when SQPOLL thread goes to sleep

Without a full memory barrier between the store to the flags and the
load of the SQ tail the two operations can be reordered and this can
lead to a situation where the SQPOLL thread goes to sleep while the
application writes to the SQ tail and doesn't see the wakeup flag.
This memory barrier pairs with a full memory barrier in the application
between its store to the SQ tail and its load of the flags.
