[PATCH 2/2] staging: wilc1000: avoid mutex unlock without lock in wilc_wlan_handle_txq()

From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat at microchip.com>

In wilc_wlan_handle_txq(), mutex unlock was called without acquiring
it. Also error code for full VMM condition was incorrect as discussed in
[1]. Now used a proper code to indicate VMM is full, for which transfer
to VMM is required again. 'wilc_wlan_handle_txq()' should be called
again if the VMM space was full earlier or otherwise based on
'txq_event' signal.
