[PATCH 6/9] Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: remove stray smp_read_barrier_depends()

From: K. Y. Srinivasan
Date: Mon Dec 14 2015 - 20:29:35 EST


From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

smp_read_barrier_depends() does nothing on almost all arcitectures
including x86 and having it in the beginning of
hv_get_ringbuffer_availbytes() does not provide any guarantees anyway.
