phy: mscc: Stop taking ts_lock for tx_queue and use its own lock

When transmitting a PTP frame which is timestamp using 2 step, the
following warning appears if CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled:
=============================

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