Subject: [net-next v3 11/15] e1000e: Fix Explicitly set Transmit Control Register

From: David Ertman <davidx.m.ertman@...el.com>

This patch causes the TCTL to be explicitly set to fix a problem with
poor network performance (throughput) on certain silicon when configured
for 100M HDX performance.
