Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 034/162] ixgbe: avoid permanent lock of
 *_PTP_TX_IN_PROGRESS

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 5fef124d9c75942dc5c2445a3faa8ad37cbf4c82 ]

The ixgbe driver uses a state bit lock to avoid handling more than one Tx
timestamp request at once. This is required because hardware is limited
to a single set of registers for Tx timestamps.

The state bit lock is not properly cleaned up during
ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring() if the transmit fails such as due to DMA or TSO
failure. In some hardware this results in blocking timestamps until the
service task times out. In other hardware this results in a permanent
lock of the timestamp bit because we never receive an interrupt
indicating the timestamp occurred, since indeed the packet was never
transmitted.

Fix this by checking for DMA and TSO errors in ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring() and
properly cleaning up after ourselves when these occur.
