[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/4] test: fix memory barrier test failure on power CPUs

[David Christensen]

The memory barrier test fails on IBM Power 9 systems.  Add additional
barriers to accommodate the weakly ordered model used on Power CPUs.

v2:
* Removed ifdef's for PPC since the rte_smp_*mb() macros are already
  customized for each CPU architecture
