idpf: add read memory barrier when checking descriptor done bit
Add read memory barrier to ensure the order of operations when accessing control queue descriptors. Specifically, we want to avoid cases where loads can be reordered: 1. Load #1 is dispatched to read descriptor flags. 2. Load #2 is dispatched to read some other field from the descriptor. 3. Load #2 completes, accessing memory/cache at a point in time when the DD flag is zero. 4. NIC DMA overwrites the descriptor, now the DD flag is one. 5. Any fields loaded before step 4 are now inconsistent with the actual descriptor state. Add read memory barrier between steps 1 and 2, so that load #2 is not executed until load #1 has completed.
