qede: Fix Tx timeout due to xmit_more
Driver uses netif_tx_queue_stopped() to make sure the xmit_more indication will be honored, but that only checks for DRV_XOFF. At the same time, it's possible that during transmission the DQL will close the transmission queue with STACK_XOFF indication. In re-configuration flows, when the threshold is relatively low, it's possible that the device has no pending tranmissions, and during tranmission the driver would miss doorbelling the HW. Since there are no pending transmission, there will never be a Tx completion [and thus the DQL would not remove the STACK_XOFF indication], eventually causing the Tx queue to timeout. While we're at it - also doorbell in case driver has to close the transmission queue on its own [although this one is less important - if the ring is full, we're bound to receive completion eventually, which means the doorbell would only be postponed and not indefinetly blocked].
