[ Upstream commit ca6e6126

 ]

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.
