can: kvaser_usb: Fix tx queue start/stop race conditions
A number of tx queue wake-up events went missing due to the
outlined scenario below. Start state is a pool of 16 tx URBs,
active tx_urbs count = 15, with the netdev tx queue open.
CPU #1 [softirq] CPU #2 [softirq]
start_xmit() tx_acknowledge()
................ ................
atomic_inc(&tx_urbs);
if (atomic_read(&tx_urbs) >= 16) {
-->
atomic_dec(&tx_urbs);
netif_wake_queue();
return;
<--
netif_stop_queue();
}
At the end, the correct state expected is a 15 tx_urbs count
value with the tx queue state _open_. Due to the race, we get
the same tx_urbs value but with the tx queue state _stopped_.
The wake-up event is completely lost.
Thus avoid hand-rolled concurrency mechanisms and use a proper
lock for contexts and tx queue protection.
