Sorry, reading Thomas's patch made me realise that I've just added
that bug all over again.

[NET_SCHED]: Reread dev->qdisc for NETDEV_TX_OK

Now that we return the queue length after NETDEV_TX_OK we better
make sure that we have the right queue.  Otherwise we can cause a
stall after a really quick dev_deactive/dev_activate.
