rx: Don't malloc the xmit list
Building the transmit list happens in a time critical section of
code. Using malloc to allocate the list which holds the packets to
be transmitted slows down this critical section. Instead, just
allocate the space as part of the call structure.
Locking of xmitList is somewhat tricksy, as the call->lock is
dropped over calls to sendmsg(). However, the xmitList is protected
by the TQ_BUSY call flag, which prevents multiple threads from
usign the transmit queue, and hence the xmitList, simultaneously.
