[Skiboot] [PATCH 2/2] i2c: Ensure ordering between i2c_request_send() and completion

i2c_request_send loops waiting for a flag "uc.done" set by
the completion routine, and then look for a result code
also set by that same completion.

There is no synchronization, the completion can happen on another
processor, so we need to order the stores to uc and the reads
from uc so that uc.done is stored last and tested first using
memory barriers.
