wl12xx: fix potential race condition with TX queue watermark
Check the conditions for the high/low TX queue watermarks when the spin-lock is taken. This prevents race conditions as tx_queue_count and the flag checked are only modified when the spin-lock is taken. The following race was in mind: - Queues are almost full and wl1271_op_tx() will stop the queues, but it doesn't get the spin-lock yet. - (on another CPU) tx_work_locked() dequeues 15 skbs from this queue and tx_queue_count is updated to reflect this - wl1271_op_tx() does not check tx_queue_count after taking the spin-lock and incorrectly stops the queue.
