virtio_scsi: remove ACCESS_ONCE() and smp_read_barrier_depends() 

Access to tgt->req_vq is strictly serialized by spin_lock
of tgt->tgt_lock, so the ACCESS_ONCE() isn't necessary.

smp_read_barrier_depends() in virtscsi_req_done was introduced
to order reading req_vq and decreasing tgt->reqs, but it isn't
needed now because req_vq is read from
scsi->req_vqs[vq->index - VIRTIO_SCSI_VQ_BASE] instead of
tgt->req_vq, so remove the unnecessary barrier.

Also remove related comment about the barrier.

* An interesting effect of this policy is that only writes to req_vq need to
* take the tgt_lock. Read can be done outside the lock because:
* tgt_lock is held to serialize reading and writing req_vq. Reading req_vq
* could be done locklessly, but we do not do it yet.
*
* - writes of req_vq only occur when atomic_inc_return(&tgt->reqs) returns 1.
* In that case, no other CPU is reading req_vq: even if they were in
* virtscsi_queuecommand_multi, they would be spinning on tgt_lock.
*
* - reads of req_vq only occur when the target is not idle (reqs != 0).
* A CPU that enters virtscsi_queuecommand_multi will not modify req_vq.
*
* Similarly, decrements of reqs are never concurrent with writes of req_vq.
* Decrements of reqs are never concurrent with writes of req_vq: before the
* decrement reqs will be != 0; after the decrement the virtqueue completion
* routine will not use the req_vq so it can be changed by a new request.
* Thus they can happen outside the tgt_lock, provided of course we make reqs
* an atomic_t.
