trx_if: Allow calling trx_if_flush/close from within TRXC callback (v2)

- If the llist is flushed during rx rsp callback, when the flow is
returned to trx_ctrl_read_cb() it would access tcm which was in the
llist and end up in use-after-free.
- We need to store state on whether code path is inside the read_cb in
order to:
-- Delay transmission of new message if callback calls trx_if_flush()
followed by trx_ctrl_send(), since the trx_ctrl_send() at the end of
trx_ctrl_read_cb would retransmit it again immediatelly.
-- Avoid accessing tcm pointer if the callback called trx_if_flush(),
since it has been freed.
