[PATCH 4.7 042/186] [media] media: dvb_ringbuffer: Add memory barriers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Soeren Moch <smoch@web.de>

commit ca6e6126db5494f18c6c6615060d4d803b528bff upstream.

Implement memory barriers according to Documentation/circular-buffers.txt:
- use smp_store_release() to update ringbuffer read/write pointers
- use smp_load_acquire() to load write pointer on reader side
- use ACCESS_ONCE() to load read pointer on writer side

This fixes data stream corruptions observed e.g. on an ARM Cortex-A9
quad core system with different types (PCI, USB) of DVB tuners.
