[PATCH 16/20] net: stmmac: Discard conditional service task execution

Indeed CMWQ guaranties that each particular work item is non-reenatrant,
while using the atomic bitmask operation statement may cause a requested
event being missed if for instance some event happens while the service
task is being executed (see the STMMAC_SERVICE_SCHED flag semantic).
Similarly the service task can be requested for being executed while the
STMMAC core is in the down state. (Though for now there is no such
sub-task defined in the driver).

So to speak just drop the conditional service task execution and queue the
corresponding work anytime it's requested, while the service sub-tasks
shall determine whether they really need to be performed in particular
situations.
