wimax/i2400m: fix bad race condition check in RX path 

The i2400m->rx_roq data structure is protected against race conditions
with a reference count (i2400m->rx_roq_refcount); the pointer can be
read-referenced under the i2400m->rx_lock spinlock.

The code in i2400m_rx_edata() wasn't properly following access
protocol, performing an invalid check on i2400m->rx_roq (which is
cleared to NULL when the refcount drops to zero). As such, it was
missing to detect when the data structure is no longer valid and
oopsing with a NULL pointer dereference.

This commit fixes said check by verifying, under the rx_lock spinlock,
that i2400m->rx_roq is non-NULL and then increasing the reference
count before dropping the spinlock.
