net: fix a race in gro_cell_poll()
Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support was added. There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete() without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive() Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI poll. We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue, as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway. As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both producer and consumer run under BH context.
