netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.

When support for multiple TX queues were added, the
netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over
all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock.

This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy
thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways.

So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen"
state for the individual TX queues.
