net: hns3: add barrier in vf mailbox reply process
[ Upstream commit ac92c0a9a0603fb448e60f38e63302e4eebb8035 ]
In hclgevf_mbx_handler() and hclgevf_get_mbx_resp() functions,
there is a typical store-store and load-load scenario between
received_resp and additional_info. This patch adds barrier
to fix the problem.
