When a tbl8 group is getting attached to a tbl24 entry, lookup
might fail even though the entry is configured in the table.

For ex: consider a LPM table configured with 10.10.10.1/24.
When a new entry 10.10.10.32/28 is being added, a new tbl8
group is allocated and tbl24 entry is changed to point to
the tbl8 group. If the tbl24 entry is written without the tbl8
group entries updated, a lookup on 10.10.10.9 will return
failure.

Correct memory orderings are required to ensure that the
store to tbl24 does not happen before the stores to tbl8 group
entries complete.

The orderings have impact on LPM performance test.
On Arm A72 platform, delete operation has 2.7% degradation, while
add / lookup has no notable performance change.
On x86 E5 platform, add operation has 4.3% degradation, delete
operation has 2.2% - 10.2% degradation, lookup has no performance
change.
