From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

PACKET_FANOUT_LB computes f->rr_cur such that it is modulo
f->num_members. It returns the old value unconditionally, but
f->num_members may have changed since the last store. This can be
fixed with

  -        return cur
  +        return cur < num ? : 0;

When modifying the logic, simplify it further by replacing the loop
with an unconditional atomic increment.

Fixes: dc99f600698d ("packet: Add fanout support.")
