[ Upstream commit b5e86a95541cea737394a1da967df4cd4d8f7182 ]

Queued invalidation wait descriptor status is volatile in that IOMMU
hardware writes the data upon completion.

Use READ_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations which ensures memory
reads every time. As a side effect, READ_ONCE() also enforces strict
types and may add an extra instruction. But it should not have negative
performance impact since we use cpu_relax anyway and the extra time(by
adding an instruction) may allow IOMMU HW request cacheline ownership
easier.

e.g. gcc 12.3
BEFORE:
	81 38 ad de 00 00       cmpl   $0x2,(%rax)

AFTER (with READ_ONCE())
    772f:       8b 00                   mov    (%rax),%eax
    7731:       3d ad de 00 00          cmp    $0x2,%eax
                                        //status data is 32 bit
