nvme: avoid cqe corruption when update at the same time as read
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788035 Make sure the CQE phase (validity) is read before the rest of the structure. The phase bit is the highest address and the CQE read will happen on most platforms from lower to upper addresses and will be done by multiple non-atomic loads. If the structure is updated by PCI during the reads from the processor, the processor may get a corrupted copy. The addition of the new nvme_cqe_valid function that verifies the validity bit also allows refactoring of the other CQE read sequences.
