4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Francois Romieu <rom...@fr.zoreil.com>


[ Upstream commit a78e93661c5fd30b9e1dee464b2f62f966883ef7 ]

Hardware statistics retrieval hurts in tight invocation loops.

Avoid extraneous write and enforce strict ordering of writes targeted to
the tally counters dump area address registers.
