Re: [net-2.6 PATCH V2] mlx4_en: Fix a kernel panic when waking tx queue

When the transmit queue gets full we enable interrupts for TX completions
There was a race that we handled the TX queue both from the interrupt context
and from the transmit function. Using "spin_trylock_irq()" ensures this
doesn't happen.
