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.
