[PATCH] iseries_veth: Remove redundant message stack lock

Browse source 
The iseries_veth driver keeps a stack of messages for each connection
and a lock to protect the stack. However there is also a per-connection lock
which makes the message stack lock redundant.

Remove the message stack lock and document the fact that callers of the
stack-manipulation functions must hold the connection's lock.
