You have this comment, but then...

you set LLTX, which means that the upper layers _don't_ make sure that
your xmit routine is not reentrant.

It looks like the impact of multiple simultaneous xmit calls is just
the possibility of screwing up the statistics, but still I think you
want to drop the LLTX feature (since you have no lock of your own to
try and take).
