Subject: [net-next 5/6] ixgbe: Reorder Tx/Rx shutdown to reduce time needed to stop device

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This change is meant to help reduce the time needed to shutdown the
transmit and receive paths for the device. Specifically what we now do
after this patch is disable the transmit path first at the netdev level,
and then work on disabling the Rx. This way while we are waiting on the Rx
queues to be disabled the Tx queues have an opportunity to drain out.

In addition I have dropped the 10ms timeout that was left in the ixgbe_down
function that seems to have been carried through from back in e1000 as far
as I can tell. We shouldn't need it since we don't actually disable the Tx
until much later and we have additional logic in place for verifying the Tx
queues have been disabled.
