[ Upstream commit c57b54684060c8aced64a5b78ff69ff289af97b9 ]
commit 7d3d43dab4e9 (net: In unregister_netdevice_notifier unregister
the netdevices.) makes pktgen crashing at module unload.

Hold the pktgen_thread_lock while splicing pktgen_threads, and test
pktgen_exiting in pktgen_device_event() to make unload faster.
