aio_wait_kick: add missing memory barrier
It seems that aio_wait_kick always required a memory barrier or atomic operation in the caller, but nobody actually took care of doing it. Let's put the barrier in the function instead, and pair it with another one in AIO_WAIT_WHILE. Read aio_wait_kick() comment for further explanation.
