net/mlx5e: Ring the TX doorbell on DMA errors
TX doorbells may be postponed, because sometimes the driver knows that another packet follows (for example, when xmit_more is true, or when a MPWQE session is closed before transmitting a packet). However, the DMA mapping may fail for the next packet, in which case a new WQE is not posted, the doorbell isn't updated either, and the transmission of the previous packet will be delayed indefinitely. This commit fixes the described rare error flow by posting a NOP and ringing the doorbell on errors to flush all the previous packets. The MPWQE session is closed before that. DMA mapping in the MPWQE flow is moved to the beginning of mlx5e_sq_xmit_mpwqe, because empty sessions are not allowed. Stop room always has enough space for a NOP, because the actual TX WQE is not posted.
