wifi: ath11k: fix dest ring-buffer corruption

Browse source 
commit 8c1ba5091f upstream.

Add the missing memory barrier to make sure that destination ring
descriptors are read after the head pointers to avoid using stale data
on weakly ordered architectures like aarch64.

The barrier is added to the ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin() helper for
symmetry with follow-on fixes for source ring buffer corruption which
will add barriers to ath11k_hal_srng_access_end().

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41

Fixes: d5c65159f2 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
