Subject: [PATCH] ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant

From: Ronald Wahl <ronald.wahl@...itan.com>

When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
and ks8851_irq:

    watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 27s!

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.

This commit moves the netif_wake_queue call outside the spinlock
protected area.
