6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Johan Hovold johan+linaro@kernel.org
commit aa6956150f820e6a6deba44be325ddfcb5b10f88 upstream.
Add the missing memory barriers to make sure that destination ring descriptors are read before updating the tail pointer (and passing ownership to the device) to avoid memory corruption on weakly ordered architectures like aarch64 when the ring is full.
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
