virtio_ring: Update weak barriers to use dma_wmb/rmb
This change makes it so that instead of using smp_wmb/rmb which varies depending on the kernel configuration we can can use dma_wmb/rmb which for most architectures should be equal to or slightly more strict than smp_wmb/rmb. The advantage to this is that these barriers are available to uniprocessor builds as well so the performance should improve under such a configuration.
