wcn36xx: add proper DMA memory barriers in rx path

[ Upstream commit 9bfe38e064af5decba2ffce66a2958ab8b10eaa4 ]

This is essentially exactly following the dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() usage
instructions in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt.

The theoretical races here are:

1. DXE (the DMA Transfer Engine in the Wi-Fi subsystem) seeing the
dxe->ctrl & WCN36xx_DXE_CTRL_VLD write before the dxe->dst_addr_l
write, thus performing DMA into the wrong address.

2. CPU reading dxe->dst_addr_l before DXE unsets dxe->ctrl &
WCN36xx_DXE_CTRL_VLD. This should generally be harmless since DXE
doesn't write dxe->dst_addr_l (no risk of freeing the wrong skb).
