net: Google gve: Remove dma_wmb() before ringing doorbell
Current code use dma_wmb() to ensure Rx/Tx descriptors are visible to device before writing to doorbell. However, these dma_wmb() are wrong and unnecessary. Therefore, they should be removed. iowrite32be() called from gve_rx_write_doorbell()/gve_tx_put_doorbell() should guaratee that all previous writes to WB/UC memory is visible to device before the write done by iowrite32be(). E.g. On ARM64, iowrite32be() calls __iowmb() which expands to dma_wmb() and only then calls __raw_writel().
