Fix two memory ordering bugs in the AMCC crypto driver:
1. In crypto4xx_bh_tasklet_cb(), add a dma_rmb() between reading the
PD_CTL_PE_DONE bit (with READ_ONCE) and reading the descriptor and DMA
buffer data in crypto4xx_pd_done(). Without it, the CPU on a
weakly-ordered architecture could read stale descriptor data before the
hardware's writes are globally visible.
2. In crypto4xx_build_pd(), add a dma_wmb() before writing
PD_CTL_HOST_READY to ensure all descriptor and SA data is visible to
the device before the ownership handover bit. Also fix the descriptor
field ordering: pd_ctl_len.w must be written before pd_ctl.w (which
contains HOST_READY), not after, to prevent the hardware from fetching
uninitialized length data.
