openvswitch: change the data type of error status to atomic_long_t
Change the date type of error status from u64 to atomic_long_t, and use atomic operation, then remove the lock which is used to protect the error status. The operation of atomic maybe faster than spin lock. Cc: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
