Subject: [PATCH 4.15 076/105] can: peak/pcie_fd: remove useless code when interface starts

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephane Grosjean <s.grosjean@...k-system.com>

commit ffd137f7043cb30067e1bff6fe62a073ae190b23 upstream.

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.
