Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] asm-generic: Add memory barrier dma_mb()

The memory barrier dma_mb() is introduced by commit a76a37777f2c
("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ensure queue is read after updating prod pointer"),
which is used to ensure that prior (both reads and writes) accesses
to memory by a CPU are ordered w.r.t. a subsequent MMIO write, this
is only defined on arm64, but it is a generic memory barrier, let's
add dma_mb() into documentation and include/asm-generic/barrier.h.
