[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 3/8] vhost: remove unnecessary smp barrier for desc flags

[Joyce Kong <joyce.kong@arm.com>]

As function desc_is_avail performs a load-acquire barrier to
enforce the ordering between desc flags and desc content, it is
unnecessary to add a rte_smp_rmb barrier around the trace which
follows desc_is_avail.
