locks: reinstate locks_delete_block optimization

There is measurable performance impact in some synthetic tests due to
commit 6d390e4b (locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when
wakeup a waiter). Fix the race condition instead by clearing the
fl_blocker pointer after the wake_up, using explicit acquire/release
semantics.

This does mean that we can no longer use the clearing of fl_blocker as
the wait condition, so switch the waiters over to checking whether the
fl_blocked_member list_head is empty.
