Ensure that received Command-Response Queue (CRQ) entries are
properly read in order by the driver. dma_rmb barrier has
been added before accessing the CRQ descriptor to ensure
the entire descriptor is read before processing.

Fixes: 032c5e82847a ("Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol")
Signed-off-by: Lijun Pan <ljp@linux.ibm.com>

v3: reword the comments in the code to make it less confusing.
v2: drop dma_wmb according to Jakub's opinion
