ocelot_port_xmit() calls ocelot_can_inject() and ocelot_port_inject_frame()
without holding ocelot->inj_lock. However, both functions have
lockdep_assert_held(&ocelot->inj_lock) indicating that callers must hold
this lock.

The correct caller felix_port_deferred_xmit() properly acquires the lock
using ocelot_lock_inj_grp() before calling these functions.

Add ocelot_lock_inj_grp()/ocelot_unlock_inj_grp() around the injection
code path in ocelot_port_xmit() to fix the missing lock protection.
