[PATCH] nvme-pci: fix "slimmer CQ head update"

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>]

Pre-incrementing ->cq_head can't be done in memory because OOB value
can be observed by another context.

This devalues space savings compared to original code :-\

	$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux
	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-32 (-32)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	nvme_poll_irqdisable                         464     456      -8
	nvme_poll                                    455     447      -8
	nvme_irq                                     388     380      -8
	nvme_dev_disable                             955     947      -8

But the code is minimal now: one read for head, one read for q_depth,
one increment, one comparison, single instruction phase bit update and
one write for new head.
