[PATCH 1/1] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: replace writel with writel_relaxed in queue_inc_prod

This function is protected by spinlock, and the latter will do memory
barrier implicitly. So that we can safely use writel_relaxed. In fact, the
dmb operation will lengthen the time protected by lock, which indirectly
increase the locking confliction in the stress scene.
