[PATCH net v2] net: airoha: Fix schedule while atomic in airoha_ppe_deinit()

airoha_ppe_deinit() runs airoha_npu_ppe_deinit() in atomic context.
airoha_npu_ppe_deinit routine allocates ppe_data buffer with GFP_KERNEL
flag. Rely on rcu_replace_pointer in airoha_ppe_deinit routine in order
to fix schedule while atomic issue in airoha_npu_ppe_deinit() since we
do not need atomic context there.
