Julian Wiedmann 54a50941b7 s390/qeth: stop/wake TX queues based on their fill level
Current xmit code only stops the txq after attempting to fill an
IO buffer that hasn't been TX-completed yet. In many-connection
scenarios, this can result in frequent rejected TX attempts, requeuing
of skbs with NETDEV_TX_BUSY and extra overhead.

Now that we have a proper 1-to-1 relation between stack-side txqs and
our HW Queues, overhaul the stop/wake logic so that the xmit code
stops the txq as needed.
Given that we might map multiple skbs into a single buffer, it's crucial
to ensure that the queue always provides an _entirely_ empty IO buffer.
Otherwise large skbs (eg TSO) might not fit into the last available
buffer. So whenever qeth_do_send_packet() first utilizes an _empty_
buffer, it updates & checks the used_buffers count.

This now ensures that an skb passed to qeth_xmit() can always be mapped
into an IO buffer, so remove all of the -EBUSY roll-back handling in the
TX path. We preserve the minimal safety-checks ("Is this IO buffer
really available?"), just in case some nasty future bug ever attempts to
corrupt an in-use buffer.
