rts: Add missing write barriers in MVar wake-up pathsghc-8.10
Previously PerformPut failed to respect the non-moving collector's
snapshot invariant, hiding references to an MVar and its new value by
overwriting a stack frame without dirtying the stack. Fix this.
PerformTake exhibited a similar bug, failing to dirty (and therefore
mark) the blocked stack before mutating it.
Closes #20399.
(cherry picked from commit 801978bdfbe635a76e474ea32fd3da83b59325d1)
