net: lapbether: Prevent racing when checking whether the netif is running

[ Upstream commit 5acd0cf ]

There are two "netif_running" checks in this driver. One is in
"lapbeth_xmit" and the other is in "lapbeth_rcv". They serve to make
sure that the LAPB APIs called in these functions are called before
"lapb_unregister" is called by the "ndo_stop" function.

However, these "netif_running" checks are unreliable, because it's
possible that immediately after "netif_running" returns true, "ndo_stop"
is called (which causes "lapb_unregister" to be called).

This patch adds locking to make sure "lapbeth_xmit" and "lapbeth_rcv" can
reliably check and ensure the netif is running while doing their work.
