net: avoid strange behavior with skb_defer_max == 1
When user sets skb_defer_max to 1 the kick threshold is 0 (half of 1). If we increment queue length before the check the kick will never happen, and the skb may get stranded. This is likely harmless but can be avoided by moving the increment after the check. This way skb_defer_max == 1 will always kick. Still a silly config to have, but somehow that feels more correct. While at it drop a comment which seems to be outdated or confusing, and wrap the defer_count write with a WRITE_ONCE() since it's read on the fast path that avoids taking the lock.
