idpf: add read memory barrier when checking descriptor done bit
[ Upstream commit 396f016 ] Add read memory barrier to ensure the order of operations when accessing control queue descriptors. Specifically, we want to avoid cases where loads can be reordered: 1. Load #1 is dispatched to read descriptor flags. 2. Load #2 is dispatched to read some other field from the descriptor. 3. Load #2 completes, accessing memory/cache at a point in time when the DD flag is zero. 4. NIC DMA overwrites the descriptor, now the DD flag is one. 5. Any fields loaded before step 4 are now inconsistent with the actual descriptor state. Add read memory barrier between steps 1 and 2, so that load #2 is not executed until load #1 has completed.
