Merge branch 'load-acquire/store-release barriers for'

Björn Töpel says:

====================

This two-patch series introduces load-acquire/store-release barriers
for the AF_XDP rings.

For most contemporary architectures, this is more effective than a
SPSC ring based on smp_{r,w,}mb() barriers. More importantly,
load-acquire/store-release semantics make the ring code easier to
follow.

This is effectively the change done in commit 6c43c091bdc5
("documentation: Update circular buffer for
load-acquire/store-release"), but for the AF_XDP rings.

Both libbpf and the kernel-side are updated.

Full details are outlined in the commits!

Thanks to the LKMM-folks (Paul/Alan/Will) for helping me out in this
complicated matter!

Changelog

v1[1]->v2:
* Expanded the commit message for patch 1, and included the LKMM
  litmus tests. Hopefully this clear things up. (Daniel)

* Clarified why the smp_mb()/smp_load_acquire() is not needed in (A);
  control dependency with load to store. (Toke)
