This patch adds a missing spinlock hold in the timer expire function.
The timer expire function will occur after specific timeout for
fragmented 6lowpan packets which are still in the fragment list.

Some little note:
Currently I working on patches for net-next to use the inet_frag api
for 6lowpan fragmentation. This api is also used in ipv4 and ipv6.
The upcomming patch series fix also some other in the current 6lowpan
fragmentation handling, I will send them soon.
This patch is for net and fix one of the main race condition in the
current fragmentation api of 6lowpan. Maybe there are some 6lowpan users
which use some older kernels.
