A read barrier is required to ensure that the ordering between
descriptor's flags and content reads is enforced.
1. read flags = desc->flags
if (flags & AVAIL_BIT)
2. read desc->id
There is a control dependency between steps 1 and step 2.
2 could be speculatively executed before 1, which could result
in 'id' to not be updated yet.
