net: ionic: add dma_wmb() before ringing TX doorbell

Browse source

[ Upstream commit d261f5b09c ]

The TX path currently writes descriptors and then immediately writes to
the MMIO doorbell register to notify the NIC.  On weakly ordered
architectures, descriptor writes may still be pending in CPU or DMA
write buffers when the doorbell is issued, leading to the device
fetching stale or incomplete descriptors.

Add a dma_wmb() in ionic_txq_post() to ensure all descriptor writes are
visible to the device before the doorbell MMIO write.
