Subject: [PATCH 5.10 488/717] vdpa/mlx5: Use write memory barrier after updating CQ index

From: Eli Cohen <elic@...dia.com>

[ Upstream commit 83ef73b27eb2363f44faf9c3ee28a3fe752cfd15 ]

Make sure to put dma write memory barrier after updating CQ consumer
index so the hardware knows that there are available CQE slots in the
queue.

Failure to do this can cause the update of the RX doorbell record to get
updated before the CQ consumer index resulting in CQ overrun.
