Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 6/6] tg3: use netif_tx_start_queue instead of wake_queue when no reschedule needed

From: Ying Cai <ycai@...gle.com>

This commit replaces netif_tx_wake_queue() with netif_tx_start_queue()
when __netif_schedule() is not needed. It also adds code to deal with
race condition between netif_tx_start_queue() and netif_tx_stop_queue().
