[PATCH v2 2/7] riscv: Match memory barriers between send_ipi_many and handle_ipi

> Without a matching barrier on the write side, the barrier in handle_ipi
> does nothing. It was entirely possible for the boot hart to write to addr,
> arg0, and arg1 *after* sending the IPI, because there was no barrier on the
> sending side.
