Subject: [net-next 15/15] ixgbe: enable tx queues after link up

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

This patch moves the call to enable Tx queues after the link is established.
Previously there was a chance for aggressive start_ndo_xmit() callers to
sneak packets between enabling the Tx queues and the link coming up.

In addition it replaces netif_tx_start_all_queues() with
netif_tx_wake_all_queues() to allow for flushing of the qdisc.
