net: mediatek: fix TX locking Inside the TX path there is a lock inside the tx_map function. This is however too late. The patch moves the lock to the start of the xmit function right before the free count check of the DMA ring happens. If we do not do this, the code becomes racy leading to TX stalls and dropped packets. This happens as there are 2 netdevs running on the same physical DMA ring.
