staging: unisys: visornic - ensure proper net locking in tx reset logic

visornic tx reset handling is done asynchronously via a workqueue in
visornic_timeout_reset().  As a result, it needs to use rtnl_lock() /
rtnl_unlock() to lock against possible simultaneous close() of the network
device.

(I consulted the bnx2 driver as a model here, as that driver also does
its tx reset handling asynchronously, just like visornic does.  See
bnx2_tx_timeout() and bnx2_reset_task().)
