#1350445 — [PATCH 09/13] rxrpc: Use ACCESS_ONCE() when accessing circular buffer pointers

Use ACCESS_ONCE() when accessing the other-end pointer into a circular
buffer as it's possible the other-end pointer might change whilst we're
doing this, and if we access it twice, we might get some weird things
happening.
