irqchip/gic-v3: Use dsb(ishst) to order writes with ICC_SGI1R_EL1 accesses

A dsb(ishst) barrier should be enough to order previous writes with
the system register generating the SGI, as we only need to guarantee
the visibility of data to other CPUs in the inner shareable domain
before we send the SGI.

A micro-benchmark is written to verify the performance impact on
kunpeng920 machine with 2 sockets, each socket has 2 dies, and
each die has 24 CPUs, so totally the system has 2 * 2 * 24 = 96
CPUs. ~2% performance improvement can be seen by this benchmark.

The code of benchmark module:

 #include <linux/module.h>
 #include <linux/timekeeping.h>

 volatile int data0 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data1 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data2 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data3 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data4 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data5 ____cacheline_aligned;
 volatile int data6 ____cacheline_aligned;

 static void ipi_latency_func(void *val)
 {
 }

 static int __init ipi_latency_init(void)
 {
 	ktime_t stime, etime, delta;
 	int cpu, i;
 	int start = smp_processor_id();

 	stime = ktime_get();
 	for ( i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
 		for (cpu = 0; cpu < 96; cpu++) {
 			data0 = data1 = data2 = data3 = data4 = data5 = data6 = cpu;
 			smp_call_function_single(cpu, ipi_latency_func, NULL, 1);
 		}
 	etime = ktime_get();

 	delta = ktime_sub(etime, stime);

 	printk("%s ipi from cpu%d to cpu0-95 delta of 1000times:%lld\n",
 			__func__, start, delta);

 	return 0;
 }
 module_init(ipi_latency_init);

 static void ipi_latency_exit(void)
 {
 }
 module_exit(ipi_latency_exit);

run the below commands 10 times on both Vanilla and the kernel with this
patch:
 # taskset -c 0 insmod test.ko
 # rmmod test

The result on vanilla:
 ipi_latency_init ipi from cpu0 to cpu0-95 delta of 1000times:126757449
 ipi_latency_init ipi from cpu0 to cpu0-95 delta of 1000times:126784249
