EmbeddedPkg/Lan9118Dxe: use MemoryFence

When reviewing my LAN9118 driver PCD patch [1], Ard Biesheuvel noted
that most calls to gBS->Stall() in this driver seem to be used to
prevent timing issues between the device updating data and the host
reading the values.  And that replacing most of these calls with a
MemoryFence() would be more robust.

The only exceptions are the stalls that are enclosed inside retry loops:

 - in the AutoNegotiate() function.
   This stall is waiting for the link to negotiate, which may require
   stalling until it is ready.

 - in the Lan9118Initialize() function.
   These two stalls are waiting for devices and time out after a number
   of retries.

 - in the SoftReset() function.
   This stall is inside a loop where the comment states:
   "If time taken exceeds 100us, then there was an error condition"

In these instances, I kept the stall, but also added a MemoryFence().
