Subject: [PATCH] r8169: revert "add byte queue limit support".

This reverts commit 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060.

First it appears in bisection, then reverting it solves the usual
netdev watchdog problem for different people. I don't have a proper
fix yet so get rid of it.

 The original 036da... commit has been modified due to the newly introduced
 skb_tx_timestamp in rtl8169_start_xmit. The herein included patch qualifies
 for 3.4-stable as well.
