The following patch (taken from the zero copy networking) upgrades the
spinlocking of the xprt_(up|down)_transmit() 'semaphores' in order to
work safely with the networking bottom halves. Several of the latter
(cf. xprt.c:tcp_write_space() & friends) do want to test the value of
'xprt->snd_task'.

Cheers,
  Trond
