wifi: ath11k: fix source ring-buffer corruption

commit 6efa0df54022c6c9fd4d294b87622c7fcdc418c8 upstream.

Add the missing memory barrier to make sure that LMAC source ring
descriptors are written before updating the head pointer to avoid
passing stale data to the firmware on weakly ordered architectures like
aarch64.

Note that non-LMAC rings use MMIO write accessors which have the
required write memory barrier.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
