Subject: igbvf: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 1e1f9ca546556e508d021545861f6b5fc75a95fe
References: bsc#1056643 FATE#322192

The original issue being fixed in this patch was seen with the ixgbe
driver, but the same issue exists with igbvf as well, as the code is
very similar. read_barrier_depends is not sufficient to ensure
loads following it are not speculatively loaded out of order
by the CPU, which can result in stale data being loaded, causing
potential system crashes.
