Vadim Lomovtsev 469998c861 net: thunderx: prevent concurrent data re-writing by nicvf_set_rx_mode
For each network interface linux network stack issue ndo_set_rx_mode call
in order to configure MAC address filters (e.g. for multicast filtering).
Currently ThunderX NICVF driver has only one ordered workqueue to process
such requests for all VFs.

And because of that it is possible that subsequent call to
ndo_set_rx_mode would corrupt data which is currently in use
by nicvf_set_rx_mode_task. Which in turn could cause following issue:
[...]

This patch is to prevent such concurrent data write with spinlock.
