Subject: [PATCH v2] net: stmmac: add BQL support

Add support for Byte Queue Limits to the STMicro MAC driver.

Tested on a Amlogic S802 quad Cortex-A9 board, where the use of BQL
decreases the latency of a high priority ping from ~12ms to ~1ms when
the 100Mbit link is saturated by 20 TCP streams.

Changes since v1:
 - don't access skb->len after the start of DMA transmission in
   stmmac_xmit(), to avoid potential use after free in case tx_lock is
   removed in the future
