vhost: Add smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify()
A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_enable_notify(), inspired by Will. Otherwise, it's not ensured the available ring entries pushed by guest can be observed by vhost in time, leading to stale available ring entries fetched by vhost in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by Yihuang Yu on NVidia's grace-hopper (ARM64) platform. /home/gavin/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \ -accel kvm -machine virt,gic-version=host -cpu host \ -smp maxcpus=1,cpus=1,sockets=1,clusters=1,cores=1,threads=1 \ -m 4096M,slots=16,maxmem=64G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=4096M \ : \ -netdev tap,id=vnet0,vhost=true \ -device virtio-net-pci,bus=pcie.8,netdev=vnet0,mac=52:54:00:f1:26:b0 : guest# netperf -H 10.26.1.81 -l 60 -C -c -t UDP_STREAM virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head! Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify(). When it returns true, it means there's still pending tx buffers. Since it might read indices, so it still can bypass the smp_rmb() in vhost_get_vq_desc(). Note that it should be safe until vq->avail_idx is changed by commit d3bb267b ("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()").
