isdn: fix possible circular locking dependency
There's a circular locking dependency:
---> isdn_net_get_locked_lp
--->lock &nd->queue_lock
--->lock &nd->queue->xmit_lock
.....................
---->unlock &nd->queue_lock
---> isdn_net_writebuf_skb (called with &nd->queue->xmit_lock locked)
---->isdn_net_inc_frame_cnt
---->isdn_net_device_busy
----> lock &nd->queue_lock
This will trigger lockdep warnings:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.32-rc4-testing #7
-------------------------------------------------------
ipppd/28379 is trying to acquire lock:
(&netdev->queue_lock){......}, at: [<e62ad0fd>] isdn_net_device_busy+0x2c/0x74 [isdn]
but task is already holding lock:
(&netdev->local->xmit_lock){+.....}, at: [<e62aefc2>] isdn_net_write_super+0x3f/0x6e [isdn]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
.......
We don't need to lock nd->queue->xmit_lock to protect single
isdn_net_lp_busy(). This can fix above lockdep warnings.
