[ Upstream commit 6396b48ac0a77165f9c2c40ab03d6c8188c89739 ]
We don't need a barrier for the ->tx_bottom value (which indicates the
lowest sequence still in the transmission queue) and the ->acks_hard_ack
value (which tracks the DATA packets hard-ack'd by the latest ACK packet
received and thus indicates which DATA packets can now be discarded) as the
app thread doesn't use either value as a reference to memory to access.
Rather, the app thread merely uses these as a guide to how much space is
available in the transmission queue
Change the code to use READ/WRITE_ONCE() instead.
Also, change rxrpc_check_tx_space() to use the same value for tx_bottom
throughout.
