cxgb3: Fix transmit queue stop mechanism
The last change in the Tx queue stop mechanism opens a window where the Tx queue might be stopped after pending credits returned. Tx credits are returned via a control message generated by the HW. It returns tx credits on demand, triggered by a completion bit set in selective transmit packet headers. The current code can lead to the Tx queue stopped with all pending credits returned, and the current frame not triggering a credit return. The Tx queue will then never be awaken. The driver could alternatively request a completion for packets that stop the queue. It's however safer at this point to go back to the pre-existing behaviour.
