Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: make struct net_device::tx_queue_len unsigned
 int

4 billion packet queue is something unthinkable so use 32-bit value
for now.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/70 up/down: 16/-131 (-115)
	function                                     old     new   delta
