Commit Message

Right now we are able to stop a queue but we have no indication if a
transmission is ongoing or not.

Thanks to recent additions, we can track the number of ongoing
transmissions so we know if the last transmission is over. Adding on top
of it an internal wait queue also allows to be woken up asynchronously
when this happens. If, beforehands, we marked the queue to be held and
stopped it, we end up flushing and stopping the tx queue.

Thanks to this feature, we will soon be able to introduce a synchronous
transmit API.

I am curious, why this extra hold, release here?

My idea was:
- stop the queue
- increment the hold counter to be sure the queue does not get
  restarted asynchronously
- wait for the last transmission to finish
- decrement the hold counter
- restart the queue if the hold counter is null

What is bothering you with it? Without the hold we cannot be sure that
an asynchronous event will not restart the queue and possibly fail our
logic.

Thanks,
Miquèl
