The problem with this spin lock is that it was just protecting the list
of the MAC entries in SW and not also the access to the MAC entries in HW.
Because the access to HW is indirect, then it could happen to have race
conditions.
For example when SW introduced an entry in MAC table and the irq mac is
trying to read something from the MAC.
Update such that also the access to MAC entries in HW is protected by
this lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
