firewire: net: replace lists by counters
The current transmit code does not at all make use of - fwnet_device.packet_list and only very limited use of - fwnet_device.broadcasted_list, - fwnet_device.queued_packets. Their current function is to track whether the TX soft-IRQ finished dealing with an skb when the AT-req tasklet takes over, and to discard pending tx datagrams (if there are any) when the local node is removed. The latter does actually contain a race condition bug with TX soft-IRQ and AT-req tasklet. Instead of these lists and the corresponding link in fwnet_packet_task, - a flag in fwnet_packet_task to track whether fwnet_tx is done, - a counter of queued datagrams in fwnet_device do the job as well. The above mentioned theoretic race condition is resolved by letting fwnet_remove sleep until all datagrams were flushed. It may sleep almost arbitrarily long since fwnet_remove is executed in the context of a multithreaded (concurrency managed) workqueue. The type of max_payload is changed to u16 here to avoid waste in struct fwnet_packet_task. This value cannot exceed 4096 per IEEE 1394:2008 table 16-18 (or 32678 per specification of packet headers, if there is ever going to be something else than beta mode).
