Totally agree.  However, the driver is still getting entries when it
shouldn't (netif_queue_stopped() is true), hence it's returning a non-OK
value.  We can either re-add the check for netif_queue_stopped() to
qdisc_restart(), or update the drivers to use the newer API.  I'd rather
do the latter, which I can work on.

Thanks Jamal!
