lib: objpool: fix head overrun on RK3588 SBC

Browse Source 
objpool overrun stress with test_objpool on OrangePi5+ SBC triggered the
following kernel warnings:

    WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 3115 at lib/objpool.c:168 objpool_push+0xc0/0x100

This message is from objpool.c:168:

    WARN_ON_ONCE(tail - head > pool->nr_objs);

The overrun test case is to validate the case that pre-allocated objects
are insufficient: 8 objects are pre-allocated for each node and consumer
thread per node tries to grab 16 objects in a row. The testing system is
OrangePI 5+, with RK3588, a big.LITTLE SOC with 4x A76 and 4x A55. When
disabling either all 4 big or 4 little cores, the overrun tests run well,
and once with big and little cores mixed together, the overrun test would
always cause an overrun loop. It's likely the memory timing differences
of big and little cores cause this trouble. Here are the debugging data
of objpool_try_get_slot after try_cmpxchg_release:

    objpool_pop: cpu: 4/0 0:0 head: 278/279 tail:278 last:276/278

The local copies of 'head' and 'last' were 278 and 276, and reloading of
'slot->head' and 'slot->last' got 279 and 278. After try_cmpxchg_release
'slot->head' became 'head + 1', which is correct. But what's wrong here
is the stale value of 'last', and that stale value of 'last' finally led
the overrun of 'head'.

Memory updating of 'last' and 'head' are performed in push() and pop()
independently, which could be the culprit leading this out of order
visibility of 'last' and 'head'. So for objpool_try_get_slot(), it's
not enough only checking the condition of 'head != slot', the implicit
condition 'last - head <= nr_objs' must also be explicitly asserted to
guarantee 'last' is always behind 'head' before the object retrieving.

This patch will check and try reloading of 'head' and 'last' to ensure
'last' is behind 'head' at the time of object retrieving. Performance
testings show the average impact is about 0.1% for X86_64 and 1.12% for
ARM64. Here are the results:
