dpif-netdev: Convert exit latch to flag.

No need for a latch here since we don't have to wait.
A simple boolean flag is enough.

The memory order on the reload flag is changed to rel-acq ordering to
serve as a synchronisation point between the pmd threads and the control
thread that asks for termination.

Fixes: e4cfed3 ("dpif-netdev: Add poll-mode-device thread.")
