[PATCH] drm/msm/adreno: De-spaghettify the use of memory barriers

Memory barriers help ensure instruction ordering, NOT time and order
of actual write arrival at other observers (e.g. memory-mapped IP).
On architectures employing weak memory ordering, the latter can be a
giant pain point, and it has been as part of this driver.

Moreover, the gpu_/gmu_ accessors already use non-relaxed versions of
readl/writel, which include r/w (respectively) barriers.

Replace the barriers with a readback that ensures the previous writes
have exited the write buffer (as the CPU must flush the write to the
register it's trying to read back) and subsequently remove the hack
introduced in commit b77532803d11 ("drm/msm/a6xx: Poll for GBIF unhalt
status in hw_init").
