Subject: [net-next 1/3] net/mlx5: Fix read from coherent memory

From: Eli Cohen <eli@...lanox.com>

Use accessor function READ_ONCE to read from coherent memory modified
by the device and read by the driver. This becomes most important in
preemptive kernels where cond_resched implementation does not have the
side effect which guaranteed the updated value.
