s390/qeth: fix af_iucv notification race

Browse source

The two expected notification sequences are
1. TX_NOTIFY_PENDING with a subsequent TX_NOTIFY_DELAYED_*, when
   our TX completion code first observed the pending TX and the QAOB
   then completes at a later time; or
2. TX_NOTIFY_OK, when qeth_qdio_handle_aob() picked up the QAOB
   completion before our TX completion code even noticed that the TX
   was pending.

But as qeth_iqd_tx_complete() and qeth_qdio_handle_aob() can run
concurrently, we may end up with a race that results in a sequence of
TX_NOTIFY_DELAYED_* followed by TX_NOTIFY_PENDING. Which would confuse
the af_iucv code in its tracking of pending transmits.

Rework the notification code, so that qeth_qdio_handle_aob() defers its
notification if the TX completion code is still active.
