Subject: [PATCH 1/1] r8169: fix unsigned int wraparound with TSO

From: Julien Ducourthial <jducourt@...e.fr>

The r8169 may get stuck or show bad behaviour after activating TSO :
the net_device is not stopped when it has no more TX descriptors.
This problem comes from TX_BUFS_AVAIL which may reach -1 when all
transmit descriptors are in use. The patch simply tries to keep positive
values.

Tested with 8111d(onboard) on a D510MO, and with 8111e(onboard) on a
Zotac 890GXITX.

Signed-off-by: Julien Ducourthial <jducourt@...e.fr>
Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@...zoreil.com>

 The patch applies to -stable as well.
