Subject: [PATCH] 9p/virtio: add a read barrier in p9_virtio_zc_request

The request receiving thread writes into request then marks the request
valid in p9_client_cb by setting status after a write barrier.

p9_virtio_zc_request must like p9_client_rpc issue a read barrier after
getting notified of the new request status before reading other request
files.

(This has been noticed while fixing the usage of READ/WRITE_ONCE macros
for request status)
