synctask: implement barriers around yield, not the other way

In the current implementation, barriers are in the core of the
syncprocessors. Wake()s are treated as syncbarrier wake. This
is however delicate, as spurious wake()s of the synctask can
mess up the accounting of the barrier and waking it prematurely.

The fix is to keep yield() and wake() as the basic primitives,
and implement barriers as an object impelemented on top of these
primitives. This way, only an explicit barrier_wake() gets
counted towards the barrier accounting, and spurious wakes
will be truly safe.
