virtio: order used ring after used index read
commit 2d61ba95034f1abbdec7729d52c740870a5eddb6 upstream. On SMP guests, reads from the ring might bypass used index reads. This causes guest crashes because host writes to used index to signal ring data readiness. Fix this by inserting rmb before used ring reads. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
