Subject: [PATCH] mempool/octeontx: fix improper memory barrier

[ upstream commit b6f26c9db26482d0e8c004b138aa72bdf5f6c975 ]

Use smp barrier instead of IO barrier when sending mbox request as the
write has to be reflected between cores not IO devices.

Fixes: 6da9d24574db ("event/octeontx: add mailbox support")
