[PATCH v2 02/24] virtio_ring: sparse warning fixup

virtio_store_mb was built with split ring in mind so it accepts
__virtio16 arguments. Packed ring uses __le16 values, so sparse
complains.  It's just a store with some barriers so let's convert it to
a macro, we don't loose too much type safety by doing that.
