    Is possible that we stop queue and then do not wake up it again,
    especially when packets are transmitted fast. That can be easily
    reproduced with modified tx queue entry_num to some small value e.g. 16.
    
    If mac80211 already hold local->queue_stop_reason_lock, then we can wait
    on that lock in both rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and
    rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(). After drooping ->queue_stop_reason_lock
    is possible that __ieee80211_wake_queue() will be performed before
    __ieee80211_stop_queue(), hence we stop queue and newer wake up it
    again.
    
    Another race condition is possible when between rt2x00queue_threshold()
    check and rt2x00queue_pause_queue() we will process all pending tx
    buffers on different cpu. This might happen if for example interrupt
    will be triggered on cpu performing rt2x00mac_tx().
    
    To prevent race conditions serialize pause/unpause by queue->tx_lock.
