Subject: [PATCH 7/7] igb: avoid transmit queue timeout in xdp path

From: Sven Auhagen <sven.auhagen@...eatech.de>

Since we share the transmit queue with the slow path,
it is possible that we run into a transmit queue timeout.
This will reset the queue.
This happens under high load when the fast path is using the
transmit queue pretty much exclusively.
