vhost-net: switch to smp barriers

vhost-net only uses memory barriers to control SMP effects
(communication with userspace potentially running on a different CPU),
so it should use SMP barriers and not mandatory barriers for memory
access ordering, as suggested by Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
