Subject: [PATCH 5.18 505/879] scsi: hisi_sas: Fix memory ordering in hisi_sas_task_deliver()

From: John Garry <john.garry@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 6c6ac8b7773f05f93dc4e4044686e059d1f78dea ]

The memories for the slot should be observed to be written prior to
observing the slot as ready.

Prior to commit 26fc0ea74fcb ("scsi: libsas: Drop SAS_TASK_AT_INITIATOR"),
we had a spin_lock() + spin_unlock() immediately before marking the slot as
ready. The spin_unlock() - with release semantics - caused the slot memory
to be observed to be written.

Now that the spin_lock() + spin_unlock() is gone, use a smp_wmb().
