stmmac: add memory barriers at appropriate places

This patch, provided by ST SPEAr developers,
has fixed a problem raised on ARM CA9 where
happened that the dma_transmission was enabled before
the dma descriptors were properly filled. To guarantee this
data memory barriers have been explicity used in the driver.
