[PATCH] net: remove LLTX in atl2 driver

[Kevin Hao <kexin.hao@windriver.com>]

When NETIF_F_LLTX is set, the atlx driver will use a private lock.
But in recent kernels this implementation seems redundant and
can cause problems where AF_PACKET sees things twice. Since
NETIF_F_LLTX is marked as deprecated and shouldn't be used in
new driver, this patch removes NETIF_F_LLTX and adds a mmiowb
before sending packet.
