isdn: fix possible circular locking dependency

There's a circular locking dependency:

---> isdn_net_get_locked_lp
    --->lock &nd->queue_lock
    --->lock &nd->queue->xmit_lock
    .....................
    ---->unlock &nd->queue_lock

---> isdn_net_writebuf_skb (called with &nd->queue->xmit_lock locked)
    ---->isdn_net_inc_frame_cnt
         ---->isdn_net_device_busy
              ----> lock &nd->queue_lock

This will trigger lockdep warnings:

 =======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 2.6.32-rc4-testing #7
 -------------------------------------------------------
 ipppd/28379 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&netdev->queue_lock){......}, at: [<e62ad0fd>] isdn_net_device_busy+0x2c/0x74 [isdn]

 but task is already holding lock:
 (&netdev->local->xmit_lock){+.....}, at: [<e62aefc2>] isdn_net_write_super+0x3f/0x6e [isdn]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.
 .......

 We don't need to lock nd->queue->xmit_lock to protect single
isdn_net_lp_busy(). This can fix above lockdep warnings.
