mac80211: use synchronize_rcu() with rcu_barrier()
The RCU docs used to state that rcu_barrier() included a wait for an RCU grace period; however the comments for rcu_barrier() as of commit f0a0e6f... "rcu: Clarify memory-ordering properties of grace-period primitives" contradict this. So add back synchronize_{rcu,net}() to where they once were, but keep the rcu_barrier()s for the call_rcu() callbacks.
