mac80211: fix txq queue related crashes 

The driver can access the queue simultanously
while mac80211 tears down the interface. Without
spinlock protection this could lead to corrupting
sk_buff_head and subsequently to an invalid
pointer dereference.

Fixes: ba8c3d6f16 ("mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation")
