Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] Fix: sched/membarrier: private expedited registration check

Fix a logic flaw in the way membarrier_register_private_expedited()
handles ready state checks for private expedited sync core and private
expedited registrations.

If a private expedited membarrier registration is first performed, and
then a private expedited sync_core registration is performed, the ready
state check will skip the second registration when it really should not.
