[PATCH] br2684: don't send frames on not-ready vcc

[David Woodhouse]

Avoid submitting patches to a vcc which is being closed. Things go badly
wrong when the ->pop method gets later called after everything's been
torn down.

I think that's necessary, but not sufficient. You'll want something like
this too... I can now kill br2684ctl while there's a flood of outgoing
packets, and get a handful of the printks that I had in here until a few
seconds ago when I edited it out of the patch in my mail client... and
no more panic.

I do also now have Krzysztof's patch 1/7 (detach protocol before closing
vcc) but I don't think it actually matters any more.
