ibmvnic: Bug fixes for queue descriptor processing
This series resolves a few issues in the ibmvnic driver's
RX buffer and TX completion processing. The first patch
includes memory barriers to synchronize queue descriptor
reads. The second patch fixes a memory leak that could
occur if the device returns a TX completion with an error
code in the descriptor, in which case the respective socket
buffer and other relevant data structures may not be freed
or updated properly.
v3: Correct length of Fixes tags, requested by Jakub Kicinski
v2: Provide more detailed comments explaining specifically what
reads are being ordered, suggested by Michael Ellerman

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.
