[ 043/104] sfc: lock TX queues when calling netif_device_detach()

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Pieczko <dpieczko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c2f3b8e3a44b6fe9e36704e30157ebe1a88c08b1 ]

The assertion of netif_device_present() at the top of
efx_hard_start_xmit() may fail if we don't do this.
