I agree this patch makes it safer, but still not really safe, at least
compared with the "sky2: Fix oops in sky2_xmit_frame() after TX
timeout" patch.

Btw, I'm not sure adding netif_running() test to protect dev_close()
is really needed, because it's after dev_deactivate(), so re-enabled
tx doesn't probably matter.

As I wrote before, I doubt adding tx lock alone at this place is the
proper fix for anything (the rx (napi) race is the real problem), but
without this _bh it's a bug.
