    [NET]: Fix dev->qdisc race for NETDEV_TX_LOCKED case · 5830725f

    When transmit fails with NETDEV_TX_LOCKED the skb is requeued
    to dev->qdisc again. The dev->qdisc pointer is protected by
    the queue lock which needs to be dropped when attempting to
    transmit and acquired again before requeing. The problem is
    that qdisc_restart() fetches the dev->qdisc pointer once and
    stores it in the `q' variable which is invalidated when
    dropping the queue_lock, therefore the variable needs to be
    refreshed before requeueing.
