I'm properly confusing my self, so let me write a little more detail;

I didn't think it needed the double wmb because:

[S] running = timer;
[S] seq++;
WMB
[S] state = INACTIVE

I don't think it matters if we re-order the first two stores, since at
that point ->state is still ENQUEUED and we're good.

Similar for the case below, you can flip the seq increment and the
->running clear, but at that time ->state should already be ENQUEUED
again (if indeed the timer got re-armed), otherwise its not active
anymore.
