Currently a wmb() is used to ensure that writes to the
UTP_TASK_REQ_LIST_BASE* regs are completed prior to following writes to
the run/stop registers.

wmb() ensure that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that
it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for
ensuring the bits have taken effect on the device is to perform a read
back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is
documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can
be seen over here:

    https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678

Let's do that to ensure the bits hit the device. Because the wmb()'s
purpose wasn't to add extra ordering (on top of the ordering guaranteed
by writel()/readl()), it can safely be removed.

Fixes: 897efe628d7e ("scsi: ufs: add missing memory barriers")

I don't think the readback is really needed here. Because, the dependency is
with UTP registers and both should be in the same domain. So there is no way the
following write can happen before prior UTP write completion.
