Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] tg3: Fix tx_pending check for MAX_SKB_FRAGS

The rest of the driver assumes at least one free descriptor in the tx ring.
Therefore, since an skb with max frags takes up (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1)
descriptors, tx_pending must be > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1).

Changes v1->v2
Moved ahead in the series from 3/3 to 2/3, no functionnal change

I reproduced this bug using the same approach explained in patch 1.
The bug reproduces with tx_pending = 18
