...BTW, we probably could also consider some optimization here: the
xmit_lock of the first queue could be treated as special, and only
the owner could do such a freezing. This would save changes of
functionality to non mq devices. On the other hand, it would need
remembering about this special treatment (so, eg. a separate lockdep
initialization than all the others).
