Subject: [PATCH 4.4 17/93] bnxt_en: reverse order of TX disable and carrier off

From: Edwin Peer <edwin.peer@...adcom.com>

[ Upstream commit 132e0b65dc2b8bfa9721bfce834191f24fd1d7ed ]

A TX queue can potentially immediately timeout after it is stopped
and the last TX timestamp on that queue was more than 5 seconds ago with
carrier still up.  Prevent these intermittent false TX timeouts
by bringing down carrier first before calling netif_tx_disable().

Fixes: c0c050c58d84 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
