Removing packets from tx_queue is not needed. We can transmit packets
also after close. We just can't call vcc->pop() after close,
so we can just set SKB_CB(skb)->vcc of such packets to NULL so fpga_tx()
won't call vcc->pop().

Maybe I was not precise enough, I'm think that all we need is
something like that:

Subject: [PATCH] solos-pci: don't call vcc->pop() after pclose()

After atmdev_ops->close() we cannot use vcc->pop() because the vcc may,
and probably will be destroyed.

We can just set vcc for such frames to NULL because fpga_tx() after
completion will call dev_kfree_skb() in that case.
