net/mlx5e: Take state lock during tx timeout reporter
[ Upstream commit e6b5afd30b99b43682a7764e1a74a42fe4d5f4b3 ]
mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels() requires the state lock taken. The
referenced changed in the Fixes tag removed the lock to fix another
issue. This patch adds it back but at a later point (when calling
mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels()) to avoid the deadlock referenced in the
Fixes tag.
