check_for_missing_tx_completions() is called from a timer
task and looking for lost tx packets.
The old implementation accumulate all the lost tx packets
and did not check if those packets were retrieved on a later stage.
This cause to a situation where the driver reset
the device for no reason.

For the rare case where the device runs out of free rx buffer
descriptors (in case of pressure on kernel memory),
and the napi handler continuously fail to refill new Rx descriptors
until device rx queue totally runs out of all free rx buffers
to post incoming packet, leading to a deadlock:
* The device won't send interrupts since all the new
Rx packets will be dropped.
* The napi handler won't try to allocate new Rx descriptors
since allocation is part of NAPI that's not being invoked any more
The fix involves detecting this scenario and rescheduling NAPI
(to refill buffers) by the keepalive/watchdog task.
