From: Tirumalesh Chalamarla <tchalamarla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ARM GIC specification mention the need for dsb after ICC_IAR1_EL1 read.

4.1.1 Physical CPU Interface:
"The effects of reading ICC_IAR0_EL1 and ICC_IAR1_EL1 on the state of a
returned INTID are not guaranteed to be visible until after the
execution of a DSB."

The effect of not having this is, missing interrupts.
this patch address the problem by adding a dsb .

changes form V1:
- modified subject line and commit message.
