Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: gdm72xx: Fix spinlock recursion on gdm_usb_send_complete

This patch fixes a spinlock recursion bug on several call sites of
gdm_usb_send_complete by not calling spin_lock_irqsave on
urb->context->tx_cxt->lock when the lock has already been acquired.

This revised patch simplifies the previous patch.
