Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH 01/25] ixgb: maybe stop tx port missed a piece

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

back when maybe stop tx was added to the ixgb driver some mistakes
were made and the driver
a) didn't remove the tx lock, which is now un-necessary
b) didn't change the restart code to be compliant with maybe_stop
