[PATCH net 6/6] net: mvneta: Fix race condition during stopping

[Gregory CLEMENT]

When stopping the port, the CPU notifier are still there whereas the
mvneta_stop_dev function calls mvneta_percpu_disable() on each CPUs.
It was possible to have a new CPU coming at this point which could be
racy.

This patch adds a flag preventing executing the code notifier for a new CPU
when the port is stopping.
