Subject: [PATCH 4.19 38/58] iavf: Fix cached head and tail value for iavf_get_tx_pending

From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 809f23c0423a43266e47a7dc67e95b5cb4d1cbfc ]

The underlying hardware may or may not allow reading of the head or tail
registers and it really makes no difference if we use the software
cached values. So, always used the software cached values.

Fixes: 9c6c12595b73 ("i40e: Detection and recovery of TX queue hung logic moved to service_task from tx_timeout")
