Subject: [PATCH v2 29/55] staging: wfx: simplify handling of tx_lock in
 wfx_do_join()

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@...abs.com>

In the old days, wfx_do_join() could be called from different contexts.
Now that wfx_do_join() is called only from one place, it is cleaner to
keep lock and unlock of data inside the function.
