Subject: [PATCH net] bnxt_en: Fix potential race condition in bnxt_tx_enable()

txr->dev_state is always manipulated after acquiring the transmit queue
lock, except in bnxt_tx_enable(), which seems suspicious here, so also
acquire the transmit queue lock before changing the value.

Reported-by: coverity (CID 1339583)
Fixes: c0c050c58d840 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
