[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 2/4] net/virtio: replace smp barrier with IO barrier

Replace rte_smp_wmb/rmb with rte_io_wmb/rmb as they are the same on x86
and ppc platforms. Then, for function virtqueue_fetch_flags_packed/
virtqueue_store_flags_packed, the if and else branch are still identical
for the platforms except Arm.
