Subject: [PATCH] Optimize cxgb3 xmit path (a bit)

Changes:
	1. Add common code for stopping queue.
	2. No need to call netif_stop_queue followed by netif_wake_queue (and
	   infact a netif_start_queue could have been used instead), instead
	   call stop_queue if required, and remove code under USE_GTS macro.
	3. There is no need to check for netif_queue_stopped, as the network
	   core guarantees that for us (I am sure every driver could remove
	   that check, eg e1000 - I have tested that path a few billion times
	   with about a few hundred thousand qstops but the condition never
	   hit even once).

Thanks,

- KK
