[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/3] net/ixgbe: fix out of order Rx read issue

[Qi Zhang <qi.z.zhang@intel.com>]

In vPMD, when load Rx desc with _mm_loadu_si128,
volatile point will be cast into non-volatile point.
So GCC is allowed to reorder the load instructions,
while Rx read's correctness is reply on these load
instructions to follow a backward sequence strictly,
so we add compile barrier to prevent compiler reorder.

Fixes: c95584dc2b18 ("ixgbe: new vectorized functions for Rx/Tx")

v2:
- fix check-git-log.sh warning.
- add more detail commit message.
