Subject: [PATCH net 9/9] net/mlx4_en: Fix panic on xmit while port is down

From: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@...lanox.com>

When port is down, tx drop counter update is not needed.
Updating the counter in this case can cause a kernel
panic as when the port is down, ring can be NULL.

Fixes: 63a664b7e92b ("net/mlx4_en: fix tx_dropped bug")
