The functions b43_op_tx() and b43_tx_work() may be concurrently executed.
In b43_tx_work(), the variable wl->tx_queue_stopped[queue_num] is
accessed with holding a mutex lock wl->mutex. But in b43_op_tx(), the
identical variable wl->tx_queue_stopped[skb->queue_mapping] is accessed
without holding this mutex lock. Thus, a possible data race may occur.
To fix this data race, in b43_op_tx(), the variable
wl->tx_queue_stopped[skb->queue_mapping] is accessed with holding the
mutex lock wl->mutex.
This data race is found by the runtime testing of our tool DILP-2.
