Maxime Coquelin d4ff2135eb vhost: enforce avail index and desc read ordering
A read barrier is required to ensure the ordering between
available index and the descriptor reads is enforced.

1. read avail_head = avail->idx
2. read cur_idx = last_avail_idx
if (cur_idx != avail_head) {
    3. read idx = avail->ring[cur_idx]
    4. read desc[idx]
}

There is a control dependency between step 1 and steps 3 & 4,
3 could be speculatively executed before 1, which could result
in 'idx' to not being updated yet.
