io_uring: add a memory barrier before atomic_read

There is a hang issue while using fio to do some basic test. The issue
can be easily reproduced using the below script:

        while true
        do
                fio  --ioengine=io_uring  -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \
                     -size=1G -iodepth=64 -name=uring   --filename=/dev/zero
        done

After several minutes (or more), fio would block at
io_uring_enter->io_cqring_wait in order to waiting for previously
committed sqes to be completed and can't return to user anymore until
we send a SIGTERM to fio. After receiving SIGTERM, fio hangs at
io_ring_ctx_wait_and_kill with a backtrace like this:

The reason is that we had added a req to ctx->pending_async at the very
end, but it didn't get a chance to be processed. How could this happen?

        fio#cpu0                                        wq#cpu1

        io_add_to_prev_work                    io_sq_wq_submit_work

          atomic_read() <<< 1

                                                  atomic_dec_return() << 1->0
                                                  list_empty();    <<< true;

          list_add_tail()
          atomic_read() << 0 or 1?

As atomic_ops.rst states, atomic_read does not guarantee that the
runtime modification by any other thread is visible yet, so we must take
care of that with a proper implicit or explicit memory barrier.
