dql: dql_queued() should write first to reduce bus transactions

While doing high throughput test on a BQL enabled NIC,
I found a very high cost in ndo_start_xmit() when accessing BQL data.

It turned out the problem was caused by compiler trying to be
smart, but involving a bad MESI transaction :

  0.05 │  mov    0xc0(%rax),%edi    // LOAD dql->num_queued
  0.48 │  mov    %edx,0xc8(%rax)    // STORE dql->last_obj_cnt = count
 58.23 │  add    %edx,%edi
  0.58 │  cmp    %edi,0xc4(%rax)
  0.76 │  mov    %edi,0xc0(%rax)    // STORE dql->num_queued += count
  0.72 │  js     bd8

I got an incredible 10 % gain [1] by making sure cpu do not attempt
to get the cache line in Shared mode, but directly requests for
ownership.

New code :
	mov    %edx,0xc8(%rax)  // STORE dql->last_obj_cnt = count
	add    %edx,0xc0(%rax)  // RMW   dql->num_queued += count
	mov    0xc4(%rax),%ecx  // LOAD dql->adj_limit
	mov    0xc0(%rax),%edx  // LOAD dql->num_queued
	cmp    %edx,%ecx

The TX completion was running from another cpu, with high interrupts
rate.

Note that I am using barrier() as a soft hint, as mb() here could be
too heavy cost.
