Subject: [ 108/124] drivers: net: ethernet: davinci_emac: use netif_wake_queue() while restarting tx queue

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


To restart tx queue use netif_wake_queue() intead of netif_start_queue()
so that net schedule will restart transmission immediately which will
increase network performance while doing huge data transfers.
