gianfar: Add I/O barriers when touching buffer descriptor ownership.

The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
state.  Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.

Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of
bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb.  Hardware reordering
was also theoretically possible.
