[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 6/6] drm/i915: Replace manual barrier() with READ_ONCE() in HWS accessor

When reading from the HWS page, we use barrier() to prevent the compiler
optimising away the read from the volatile (may be updated by the GPU)
memory address. This is more suited to READ_ONCE(); make it so.
