libbpf: fix XDP socket ring buffer memory ordering

The ring buffer code of	XDP sockets is missing a memory	barrier	on the
consumer side between the load of the data and the write that signals
that it is ok for the producer to put new data into the buffer. On
architectures that does not guarantee that stores are not reordered
with older loads, the producer might put data into the ring before the
consumer had the chance to read it. As IA does guarantee this
ordering, it would only need a compiler barrier here, but there are no
primitives in barrier.h for this specific case (hinder writes to be ordered
before older reads) so I had to add a smp_mb() here which will
translate into a run-time synch operation on IA.
