Ensure that received Command-Response Queue (CRQ) entries are
properly read/written in order by the driver. dma_rmb barrier
has been added before accessing the CRQ descriptor to ensure
the entire descriptor is read before processing. dma_wmb barrier
is also added to ensure the entire descriptor is written before
future processing.
