From: Forrest shi <b29...@freescale.com>
dma status check function fsl_tx_status is heavily called in
a tight loop and the desc lock in fsl_tx_status contended by
the dma status update function. this caused the dma performance
degrades much.
this patch releases the lock in the fsl_tx_status function, and
introduce the smp_mb() to avoid possible memory inconsistency.
