Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 1/1] hv_netvsc: Use the xmit_more skb flag to optimize signaling the host
Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag),
we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help
make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of
packets. Implement this optimization.

v2: Fixed up indentation based on feedback from David Miller.
v3: If the queue is stopped, deal with that condition: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>
