Yes but barrier is necessary only if add_wait_queue() was actually called, and __pollwait()
does this call.

Adding a plain smp_mb() in tcp_poll() for example would slowdown select()/poll() with NULL
timeout.

Adding a cond test before smp_mb() in tcp_poll() (and other ->poll() functions)
would be litle bit overkill too...

I believe this race was not existent in the past because spin_unlock() had a memory barrier,
and we changed this to a plain memory write at some point...

Most add_wait_queue() calls are followed by a call to set_current_state()
so a proper smp_mb() is explicitly included.
