Subject: [PATCH v3 net] net: fec: add dma_wmb to ensure correct descriptor values

Two dma_wmb() are added in the XDP TX path to ensure proper ordering of
descriptor and buffer updates:
1. A dma_wmb() is added after updating the last BD to make sure
   the updates to rest of the descriptor are visible before
   transferring ownership to FEC.
2. A dma_wmb() is also added after updating the bdp to ensure these
   updates are visible before updating txq->bd.cur.
3. Start the xmit of the frame immediately right after configuring the
   tx descriptor.

Fixes: 6d6b39f180b8 ("net: fec: add initial XDP support")
Signed-off-by: Shenwei Wang <shenwei.wang@....com>

 v3:
  - use the lightweight memory barrier dma_wmb.

 v2:
  - update the inline comments for 2nd wmb per Wei Fang's review.
