remoteproc: don't use virtio's weak barriers
When creating a virtqueue for rpmsg, tell virtio we're not interested in "weak" smp barriers, since we're talking to a real device. On ARM, this means using a DSB instead of a DMB, which is needed for platforms that kick the remote processor using some kind of a mailbox device mapped to Device memory (otherwise the kick can jump ahead and wake the remote processor before it has observed the changes to the vrings).
