net: team: fix NULL pointer dereference in team_xmit during mode change

__team_change_mode() clears team->ops with memset() before restoring
safe dummy handlers via team_adjust_ops(). A concurrent team_xmit()
running under RCU on another CPU can read team->ops.transmit during
this window and call a NULL function pointer, crashing the kernel.

The race requires a mode change (CAP_NET_ADMIN) concurrent with
transmit on the team device.

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
 RIP: 0010:0x0
 Call Trace:
  team_xmit (drivers/net/team/team_core.c:1853)
  dev_hard_start_xmit (net/core/dev.c:3904)
  __dev_queue_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4871)
  packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3109)
  __sys_sendto (net/socket.c:2265)

The original code assumed that no ports means no traffic, so mode
changes could freely memset()/memcpy() the ops.  AF_PACKET with
forced carrier breaks that assumption.

Prevent the race instead of making it safe: replace memset()/memcpy()
with per-field updates that never touch transmit or receive.  Those
two handlers are managed solely by team_adjust_ops(), which already
installs dummies when tx_en_port_count == 0 (always true during mode
change since no ports are present).  WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE prevent
store/load tearing on the handler pointers.

synchronize_net() before exit_op() drains in-flight readers that may
still reference old mode state from before port removal switched the
handlers to dummies.
