Subject: [PATCH] dz.c: Fix locking issues

 The ->start_tx(), ->stop_tx() and ->stop_rx() backends are called with 
the port's lock already taken.  Remove locking from within them and wrap 
around calls as necessary.

Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@...ux-mips.org>
---
 Tested with checkpatch.pl and at the run-time -- MIPS/Linux on a 
DECstation 5000/200.

 Please apply,

  Maciej
