Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: do not modify tx_queue_len on link speed change

From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com>

Previously the driver tweaked txqueuelen to avoid false Tx hang reports seen at half duplex.
This had the effect of overriding user set values on link change/reset. Testing shows that
adjusting only the timeout factor is sufficient to prevent Tx hang reports at half duplex.

This patch removes all instances of tx_queue_len in the driver.
