The first patch adds the missing dma_rmb() between the completion
publish checks and the reads of the descriptor payloads, suggested by
the Sashiko review from [1] for the second patch.
The second locates the completion within its slot from cq->desc_size
rather than a fixed stride, which is necessary when IONIC_Q_F_2X_CQ_DESC
(double-sized completion descriptors) is used (e.g. for hardware
timestamps).

Each completion service routine tests a device-written publish flag and
then reads the rest of the descriptor with nothing ordering those loads.
A control dependency does not order loads, so a weakly ordered CPU may
satisfy the payload reads from a cache line state observed before the
flag became valid. Add the barrier to all four completion paths.

The old ionic_rx_service() and ionic_tx_service() used array
indexing to access completion descriptors:
comp = &((struct ionic_rxq_comp *)cq->base)[cq->tail_idx];
This assumes the stride is sizeof(struct ionic_rxq_comp) = 16 bytes.
However, when the IONIC_Q_F_2X_CQ_DESC flag is set, the actual
completion descriptor size is 32 bytes (2 * sizeof(comp)), and the
completion itself is located at the end of that 32-byte slot. Array
indexing with a 16-byte stride would access the wrong offset.
Use pointer arithmetic that accounts for the actual descriptor size
from cq->desc_size:
comp = cq->base +
cq->desc_size * cq->tail_idx +
cq->desc_size - sizeof(*comp);
This correctly calculates the completion location regardless of
descriptor size. For the common case where desc_size equals
sizeof(*comp), use array indexing in a likely() fast path to avoid
performance regression.
