Subject: [PATCH 4.4 63/91] qed: Fix reading wrong value in loop condition

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit ed4eac20dcffdad47709422e0cb925981b056668 ]

The value of "sb_index" is written by the hardware. Reading its value and
writing it to "index" must finish before checking the loop condition.
