[ Upstream commit 9b2bfdb ]

When transmitting a PTP frame which is timestamp using 2 step, the
following warning appears if CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled:
=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
6.17.0-rc1-00326-ge6160462704e #427 Not tainted

ptp4l/119 is trying to lock:

So, instead of using the ts_lock for tx_queue, use the spinlock that
skb_buff_head has.
