[NET]: Fix dev->qdisc race for NETDEV_TX_LOCKED case
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.
