[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] kni: fix kni kernel fifo synchronization

[Phil Yang <phil.yang@arm.com]

From: Phil Yang <phil.yang@arm.com>

Adding memory barrier to make sure the values being synced
before updating fifo_write in kni_fifo_put and fifo_read in
kni_fifo_get.

Fixes: 3fc5ca2 ("kni: initial import")
