Subject: net/mlx5: Fix read from coherent memory
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc6
Git-commit: 250ae0d46d857ed61f3e0abf584901e46bd2c638
References: bsc#1103990 FATE#326006

Use accessor function READ_ONCE to read from coherent memory modified
by the device and read by the driver. This becomes most important in
preemptive kernels where cond_resched implementation does not have the
side effect which guaranteed the updated value.

Fixes: 269d26f47f6f ("net/mlx5: Reduce command polling interval")
