[PATCH] iseries_veth: Replace lock-protected atomic with an ordinary variable

The iseries_veth driver uses atomic ops to manipulate the in_use field of
one of its per-connection structures. However all references to the
flag occur while the connection's lock is held, so the atomic ops aren't
necessary.
