drm/i915/execlists: Use rmb() to order CSB reads

Browse source 
We assume that the CSB is written using the normal ringbuffer
coherency protocols, as outlined in kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:

    *   (HW)                              (DRIVER)
    *
    *   if (LOAD ->data_tail) {            LOAD ->data_head
    *                      (A)             smp_rmb()       (C)
    *      STORE $data                     LOAD $data
    *      smp_wmb()       (B)             smp_mb()        (D)
    *      STORE ->data_head               STORE ->data_tail
    *   }

So we assume that the HW fulfils its ordering requirements (B), and so
we should use a complimentary rmb (C) to ensure that our read of its
WRITE pointer is completed before we start accessing the data.

The final mb (D) is implied by the uncached mmio we perform to inform
the HW of our READ pointer.
