Subject: [PATCH net] net: stmmac: fix handling of zero coalescing tx-usecs

Setting ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs 0 is supposed to disable the use of the
coalescing timer but currently it gets programmed with zero delay
instead.

Disable the use of the coalescing timer if tx-usecs is zero by
preventing it from being restarted.  Note that to keep things simple we
don't start/stop the timer when the coalescing settings are changed, but
just let that happen on the next transmit or timer expiry.

Fixes: 8fce33317023 ("net: stmmac: Rework coalesce timer and fix multi-queue races")
