macvtap: fix a possible race between queue selection and changing queues

Browse source

Complier may generate codes that re-read the vlan->numvtaps during
macvtap_get_queue(). This may lead a race if vlan->numvtaps were changed in the
same time and which can lead unexpected result (e.g. very huge value).

We need prevent the compiler from generating such codes by adding an
ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure vlan->numvtaps were only read once.
