[PATCH 1/2] nvme-pci; remove the barriers nvme_irq()

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

The barriers were added to the nvme_irq() in the
commit 3a7afd8ee42a ("nvme-pci: remove the CQ lock for interrupt driven queues")
to prevent compiler from doing memory optimization for the variabes that
were protected previously by spinlock in nvme_irq() at completion queue
processing and with queue head check condition..

The variable nvmeq->last_cq_head from those checks was removed in the
commit f6c4d97b0d82 ("nvme/pci: Remove last_cq_head")") that was
preventing  poll queues from mistakenly triggering the spurious
interrupt detection.

Remove the barriers which were protecting the updates to the variables.
