iommu/vt-d: Handle volatile descriptor status read
Queued invalidation wait descriptor status is volatile in that IOMMU
hardware writes the data upon completion.
Use READ_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations which ensures memory
reads every time. As a side effect, READ_ONCE() also enforces strict
types and may add an extra instruction. But it should not have negative
performance impact since we use cpu_relax anyway and the extra time(by
adding an instruction) may allow IOMMU HW request cacheline ownership
easier.
e.g. gcc 12.3
BEFORE:
81 38 ad de 00 00 cmpl $0x2,(%rax)
AFTER (with READ_ONCE())
772f: 8b 00 mov (%rax),%eax
7731: 3d ad de 00 00 cmp $0x2,%eax
//status data is 32 bit
