mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix possible use-after-free during activity update
The rule activity update delayed work periodically traverses the list of configured rules and queries their activity from the device.
As part of this task it accesses the entry pointed by 'ventry->entry', but this entry can be changed concurrently by the rehash delayed work, leading to a use-after-free [1].
Fix by closing the race and perform the activity query under the 'vregion->lock' mutex.
