fuse: fix missing barrier when checking io-uring readiness
fuse_block_alloc() reads fch->initialized and then fch->io_uring.
fch->io_uring is set before fch->initialized, ordered by the smp_wmb()
in fuse_chan_set_intialized(), but fuse_block_alloc() has no matching
read barrier between the two loads.
This may lead a CPU to observe fch->initialized=1 but fch->io_uring=0,
and skip the check that blocks request allocation until the io-uring
queues are ready. This can reintroduce the lock-order inversion deadlock
that commit 3393ff964e0f prevents.
Add an smp_rmb() barrier to pair with the smp_wmb() in
fuse_chan_set_initialized() to prevent this.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
