Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] net: docs: update the sample code in driver.rst

The sample code talks about single-queue devices and uses locks.
Update it to something resembling more modern code.
Make sure we mention use of READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE().

Change the comment which talked about consumer on the xmit side.
AFAIU xmit is the producer and completions are a consumer.
