Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fm10k/igb/ixgbe: Use load_acquire on Rx descriptor

This change makes it so that load_acquire is used when reading the Rx
descriptor.  The advantage of load_acquire is that it allows for a much
lower cost barrier on x86, ia64, powerpc, arm64, and s390 architectures
than a traditional memory barrier when dealing with reads that only have
to synchronize to system memory.

In addition I have updated the code so that it just checks to see if any
bits have been set instead of just the DD bit since the DD bit will always
be set as a part of a descriptor write-back so we just need to check for a
non-zero value being present at that memory location rather than just
checking for any specific bit.  This allows the code itself to appear much
cleaner and allows the compiler more room to optimize.
