rxrpc: Fix generation of serial numbers to skip zero

[ Upstream commit f3104141 ]

In the Rx protocol, every packet generated is marked with a per-connection
monotonically increasing serial number.  This number can be referenced in
an ACK packet generated in response to an incoming packet - thereby
allowing the sender to use this for RTT determination, amongst other
things.

However, if the reference field in the ACK is zero, it doesn't refer to any
incoming packet (it could be a ping to find out if a packet got lost, for
example) - so we shouldn't generate zero serial numbers.

Fix the generation of serial numbers to retry if it comes up with a zero.

Furthermore, since the serial numbers are only ever allocated within the
I/O thread this connection is bound to, there's no need for atomics so
remove that too.
