tg3: Consider rx_std_prod_idx a hw mailbox

Browse source

This patch changes how the code uses the rx_std_prod_idx member.  In the
following patch, the code will be changed so that it will act just like
a hardware mailbox.  This patch prepares the code so that memory barriers
can be more easily inserted.
