sky2: Lock transmit queue while disabling device
netif_device_detach() does not take the tx_lock, so it's possible that a call to sky2_xmit_frame is still in progress after netif_device_detach() is complete. Take netif_tx_lock() to make sure all transmits have stopped while we're disabling the devices and that no other CPU is still transmitting a frame after we've disabling the device. Proposed fix for "sky2 panic under load" reported by Berck E. Nash. Signed-off-by: Mike McCormack <mikem@ring3k.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
