Subject: [PATCH 5.12 021/127] platform/mellanox: mlxbf-tmfifo: Fix a memory barrier issue

From: Liming Sun <limings@...dia.com>

[ Upstream commit 1c0e5701c5e792c090aef0e5b9b8923c334d9324 ]

The virtio framework uses wmb() when updating avail->idx. It
guarantees the write order, but not necessarily loading order
for the code accessing the memory. This commit adds a load barrier
after reading the avail->idx to make sure all the data in the
descriptor is visible. It also adds a barrier when returning the
packet to virtio framework to make sure read/writes are visible to
the virtio code.
