Subject: [PATCH] usb: dwc3: gadget: Prevent core from processing stale TRBs

With CPU re-ordering on write instructions, there might
be a chance that the HWO is set before the TRB is updated
with the new mapped buffer address.
And in the case where core is processing a list of TRBs
it is possible that it fetched the TRBs when the HWO is set
but before the buffer address is updated.
Prevent this by adding a memory barrier before the HWO
is updated to ensure that the core always process the
updated TRBs.

v1: For an ep the trbs can be reused, and if cpu re-ordering also
takes place, there is a change that the HWO will get set even before
the trb bpl/bph are updated which will lead controller to access a
stale buffer address from the previous transactions.
