Subject: [PATCH 2/3] blktap2: Use RING_COPY_REQUEST

Instead of RING_GET_REQUEST. Using a local copy of the
ring (and also with proper memory barriers) will mean
we can do not have to worry about the compiler optimizing
the code and doing a double-fetch in the shared memory space.

This is part of XSA155.
