i40evf: use spinlock to protect (mac|vlan)_filter_list
Stop overloading the __I40EVF_IN_CRITICAL_TASK bit lock to protect the mac_filter_list and vlan_filter_list. Instead, implement a spinlock to protect these two lists, similar to how we protect the hash in the i40e PF code. Ensure that every place where we access the list uses the spinlock to ensure consistency, and stop holding the critical section around blocks of code which only need access to the macvlan filter lists. This refactor helps simplify the locking behavior, and is necessary as a future refactor to the __I40EVF_IN_CRITICAL_TASK would cause a deadlock otherwise.
