  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.
