virtio: Improve vq->broken access to avoid any compiler optimization
[ Upstream commit 60f0779862e4ab943810187752c462e85f5fa371 ] Currently vq->broken field is read by virtqueue_is_broken() in busy loop in one context by virtnet_send_command(). vq->broken is set to true in other process context by virtio_break_device(). Reader and writer are accessing it without any synchronization. This may lead to a compiler optimization which may result to optimize reading vq->broken only once. Hence, force reading vq->broken on each invocation of virtqueue_is_broken() and also force writing it so that such update is visible to the readers. It is a theoretical fix that isn't yet encountered in the field.
