rmnet_smux: fix flow control race condition
If multiple packets are written quickly and the high watermark is
exceeded, then the -EAGAIN return code is returned (A) and the code is
checked and the tx processing is throttled (B) until a low-watermark
notification is received (C). If the packet queue is
drained and the low-watermark notification is delivered between steps
(A) and (B), then the order of events will be ACB and the tx queue will
be permanently stalled.
To fix this, a spinlock is held to ensure that the sequence is always
either ABC.
