p54_rx_frame_sent will alter the tx_queue. Therefore we should hold
the lock to protect against concurrent p54_assign_address calls.

hmm,
(looking at [GIT]: Networking debate)
linux-next. since there is no known regression that this patch could possibly fix...

I have a question about this. The code is OK, but I wonder if it might
not be clearer if the spin_unlock_irqrestore() in the second hunk were
deleted, and the label for "out" in the third hunk were moved up one
statement. That way the matching lock/unlock pair would be more obvious.
