Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.3 10/18] platform/mellanox: fix potential race in mlxbf-tmfifo driver

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

[ Upstream commit 3d43f9f639542fadfb28f40b509bf147a6624d48 ]

This commit adds memory barrier for the 'vq' update in function
mlxbf_tmfifo_virtio_find_vqs() to avoid potential race due to
out-of-order memory write. It also adds barrier for the 'is_ready'
flag to make sure the initializations are visible before this flag
is checked.
