Subject[PATCH 6/9] Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: remove stray smp_read_barrier_depends()
Date
From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

smp_read_barrier_depends() does nothing on almost all arcitectures
including x86 and having it in the beginning of
hv_get_ringbuffer_availbytes() does not provide any guarantees anyway.
