as I wrote on the changelog, the sleep_q.lock is already
taken inside rtw_free_xmitframe_queue. If I put the
sleep_q.lock above that function a soft lock occurs when
I disconnect.

So I put it just below rtw_free_xmitframe_queue.

Things works fine this way.

Please tell me if there's a best way to do it.
