The network core does not serialize the access to the hardware. The
xmit related code lets the following happen:

CPU0 	     	       CPU1
interrupt()
 do_poll()		
   c_can_do_tx()
    Fiddle with HW and	xmit()
    internal data	  Fiddle with HW and
    	     		  internal data	

due the complete lack of serialization.

Add proper locking.
