3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Aurelien Jacquiot <a-jacqu...@ti.com>

commit 36915976eca58f2eefa040ba8f9939672564df61 upstream.

Fix deadlocking during concurrent receive and transmit operations on SMP
platforms caused by the use of incorrect lock: on transmit 'tx_lock'
spinlock should be used instead of 'lock' which is used for receive
operation.

This fix is applicable to kernel versions starting from v2.15.
