Fix two memory ordering bugs in the AMCC crypto driver: 1. In crypto4xx_bh_tasklet_cb(), add a dma_rmb() between reading the PD_CTL_PE_DONE bit (with READ_ONCE) and reading the descriptor and DMA buffer data in crypto4xx_pd_done(). Without it, the CPU on a weakly-ordered architecture could read stale descriptor data before the hardware's writes are globally visible. 2. In crypto4xx_build_pd(), add a dma_wmb() before writing PD_CTL_HOST_READY to ensure all descriptor and SA data is visible to the device before the ownership handover bit. Also fix the descriptor field ordering: pd_ctl_len.w must be written before pd_ctl.w (which contains HOST_READY), not after, to prevent the hardware from fetching uninitialized length data.
