f8e8f97c11 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.

Bug added in commit c9e6bc644e (net: add gro_cells infrastructure)

c9e6bc644e net: add gro_cells infrastructure
This adds a new include file (include/net/gro_cells.h), to bring GRO
(Generic Receive Offload) capability to tunnels, in a modular way.

Because tunnels receive path is lockless, and GRO adds a serialization
using a napi_struct, I chose to add an array of up to
DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RSS_QUEUES cells, so that multi queue devices wont be
slowed down because of GRO layer.

skb_get_rx_queue() is used as selector.

In the future, we might add optional fanout capabilities, using rxhash
for example.

With help from Ben Hutchings who reminded me
netif_get_num_default_rss_queues() function.
