x86/mm: add speculation barriers to open coded locks

Add a speculation barrier to the clearly identified open-coded lock taking
functions.

Note that the memory sharing page_lock() replacement (_page_lock()) is left
as-is, as the code is experimental and not security supported.

This is part of XSA-453 / CVE-2024-2193
