mac802154: tx: fix synced xmit deadlock
This patch reverts 6001d52 ("mac802154: tx: don't allow if down while sync tx"). This has side effects with stop callback which flush the transmit workqueue. The stop callback will wait until the workqueue is flushed and holding the rtnl lock. That means it can happen that the stop callback waits forever because it try to lock the rtnl mutex which is already hold by stop callback.
