Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/12] tap: fix use-after-free

Lockless access to __ptr_ring_full is only legal if ring is
never resized, otherwise it might cause use-after free errors.
Simply drop the lockless test, we'll drop the packet
a bit later when produce fails.

Fixes: 362899b8 ("macvtap: switch to use skb array")
