From: Stephane Grosjean <s.grosjean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When an interface starts, the echo_skb array is empty and the network queue should be started only. This patch replaces useless code and locks when the internal RX_BARRIER message is received from the IP core, telling the driver that tx may start.
