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)
