stmmac: fix stmmac_tx_avail should be called with TX locked
stmmac_tx_avail() may lie if used unprotected. It's using cur_tx
and dirty_tx index. These index may be already in use by tx_clean
when entering xmit routine. So, this should be called locked.
This can cause transmit queue to be stuck, with following message:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (stmmaceth): transmit queue 0 timed out
