nvme-pci: dma read memory barrier for completions
Control dependencies do not guarantee load order across the condition, allowing a CPU to predict and speculate memory reads. Commit 324b494c2862 inlined verifying a new completion with its handling. At least one architecture was observed to access the contents out of order, resulting in the driver using stale data for the completion. Add a dma read barrier before reading the completion queue entry and after the condition its contents depend on to ensure the read order is determinsitic.
