aio: add missing smp_rmb() in read_events_ring



We ran into a case on ppc64 running mariadb where io_getevents would
return zeroed out I/O events.  After adding instrumentation, it became
clear that there was some missing synchronization between reading the
tail pointer and the events themselves.  This small patch fixes the
problem in testing.

Thanks to Zach for helping to look into this, and suggesting the fix.
