Subject: [PATCH] sfc: efx: add support for skb->xmit_more

Add support for xmit_more batching: efx has BQL support, thus we need
to only move the queue hang check before the hw tail pointer write
and test for xmit_more bit resp. whether the queue/stack has stopped.
Thanks to Nikolay Aleksandrov who had a Solarflare NIC to test!
