wimax/i2400m: fix bad race condition check in RX path
The i2400m->rx_roq data structure is protected against race conditions with a reference count (i2400m->rx_roq_refcount); the pointer can be read-referenced under the i2400m->rx_lock spinlock. The code in i2400m_rx_edata() wasn't properly following access protocol, performing an invalid check on i2400m->rx_roq (which is cleared to NULL when the refcount drops to zero). As such, it was missing to detect when the data structure is no longer valid and oopsing with a NULL pointer dereference. This commit fixes said check by verifying, under the rx_lock spinlock, that i2400m->rx_roq is non-NULL and then increasing the reference count before dropping the spinlock.
