enic: use atomic_t instead of spin_lock in busy poll
We use spinlock to access a single flag. We can avoid spin_locks by using atomic variable and atomic_cmpxchg(). Use atomic_cmpxchg to set the flag for idle to poll. And a simple atomic_set to unlock (set idle from poll). In napi poll, if gro is enabled, we call napi_gro_receive() to deliver the packets. Before we call napi_complete(), i.e while re-polling, if low latency busy poll is called, we use netif_receive_skb() to deliver the packets. At this point if there are some skb's held in GRO, busy poll could deliver the packets out of order. So we call napi_gro_flush() to flush skbs before we move the napi poll to idle.
