net: pktgen: use a consistent flow count
pktgen_if_write() can update cflows while the packet generator thread is
inside mod_cur_headers(). The latter first tests cflows, but f_pick() then
reloads it when selecting a random flow.
This allows the following interleaving:
CPU 0 (kpktgend) CPU 1 (proc write)
if (pkt_dev->cflows) // 10
pkt_dev->cflows = 0
get_random_u32_below(pkt_dev->cflows)
get_random_u32_below(0) returns a full-width random value. Using that
value as an index into the fixed-size flows array causes an out-of-bounds
access. The kernel reported:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc8fe2d2674bc
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

</TASK>
Read cflows once at the start of mod_cur_headers(), pass the snapshot to
f_pick(), and use it for later flow-state decisions in the same packet.
Publish proc updates with WRITE_ONCE(). Flow selection then always uses a
nonzero count bounded by MAX_CFLOWS, while a concurrent update takes
effect on a later packet.
