runtime: fix net poll races

The netpoll code was written long ago, when the
only multiprocessors that Go ran on were x86.
It assumed that an atomic store would trigger a
full memory barrier and then used that barrier
to order otherwise racy access to a handful of fields,
including pollDesc.closing.

On ARM64, this code has finally failed, because
the atomic store is on a value completely unrelated
to any of the racily-accessed fields, and the ARMv8
hardware, unlike x86, is clever enough not to do a
full memory barrier for a simple atomic store.
We are seeing a constant background rate of trybot
failures where the net/http tests deadlock - a netpollblock
has clearly happened after the pollDesc has begun to close.

The code that does the racy reads is netpollcheckerr,
which needs to be able to run without acquiring a lock.
This CL fixes the race, without introducing unnecessary
inefficiency or deadlock, by arranging for every updater
of the relevant fields to publish a summary as a single
atomic uint32, and then having netpollcheckerr use a
single atomic load to fetch the relevant bits and then
proceed as before.

Fixes #45211 (until proven otherwise!).
