mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs 

mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs

This bug was found and isolated by Thibaut VARENE <T-Bone@parisc-linux.org>
and Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>.  This patch is a modification of their
fixes.  We acquire and release the lock for each descriptor that is freed
to minimize the time the lock is held.
