cxgb4: Avoids race and deadlock while freeing tx descriptor
There could be race between t4_eth_xmit() and t4_free_sge_resources() while freeing tx descriptors, take txq lock in t4_free_sge_resources(). We need to stop the xmit frame path which runs in bottom half context while unloading the driver using _bh variant of the lock. This is to prevent the deadlock between xmit and driver unload.
