[PATCH 25/36] drm/omap: tiler: fix race condition with engine->async

The tiler irq handler uses engine->async value, but the code that sets
engine->async and enables the interrupt does not have a barrier. This
may cause the irq handler to see the old value of engine->async, causing
memory corruption.
