net/i40e: remove memory barrier from NEON Rx

For x86, the descriptors needs to be loaded in order, so in between two
descriptors loading, there is a compiler barrier in place.[1]
For aarch64, a patch [2] is in place to survive with discontinuous DD
bits, the barriers can be removed to take full advantage of out-of-order
execution.

50% performance gain in the RFC2544 NDR test was measured on ThunderX2.
12.50% performance gain in the RFC2544 NDR test was measured on Ampere
eMAG80 platform.
