Subject: [PATCH] sfc: farch: Potential Null Pointer Dereference in ef4_farch_handle_tx_event()

A patch similar to 83b09a180741("sfc: farch: fix TX queue lookup in TX 
 event handling").

The code was using ef4_channel_get_tx_queue() function with a TXQ label 
parameter, when it should have been using direct queue access via 
channel->tx_queue. This mismatch could result in NULL pointer returns, 
leading to system crashes.
