virtio_net: avoid using netif_tx_disable() for serializing tx routine

Commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
introduces netif_tx_disable() after netif_device_detach() in order to
avoid use-after-free of tx queues. However, there are two issues.

1) Its operation is redundant with netif_device_detach() in case the
   interface is running.
2) In case of the interface is not running before suspending and
   resuming, the tx does not get resumed by netif_device_attach().
   This results in losing network connectivity.

It is better to use netif_tx_lock_bh()/netif_tx_unlock_bh() instead for
serializing tx routine during reset. This also preserves the symmetry
of netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach().

Fixes commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
