While we're here improving virtchnl we can include two minor fixes for the lower level ctrlq flow. This adds a memory barrier to idpf_post_rx_buffs before we update tail on the controlq. We should make sure our writes have had a chance to finish before we tell HW it can touch them. This also removes some defensive programming in idpf_ctrlq_recv. The caller should not be using a num_q_msg value of zero or more than the ring size and it's their responsibility to call functions sanely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
