Subject: [PATCH] USB CDC NCM: tx_fixup() race condition fix

- tx_fixup() call be called from either timer callback or from xmit()
  in usbnet, so spinlock is added to avoid concurrency-related problem.
- minor correction due checkpatch warning for some line over 80 chars
  after previous patch was applied.
