Subject: [PATCH V5 net 2/5] net: stmmac: fix watchdog timeout during suspend/resume stress test

stmmac_xmit() call stmmac_tx_timer_arm() at the end to modify tx timer to
do the transmission cleanup work. Imagine such a situation, stmmac enters
suspend immediately after tx timer modified, it's expire callback
stmmac_tx_clean() would not be invoked. This could affect BQL, since
netdev_tx_sent_queue() has been called, but netdev_tx_completed_queue()
have not been involved, as a result, dql_avail(&dev_queue->dql) finally
always return a negative value.

__dev_queue_xmit->__dev_xmit_skb->qdisc_run->__qdisc_run->qdisc_restart->dequeue_skb:
	if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE) &&
		netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped(txq)) // __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF is set

Net core will stop transmitting any more. Finillay, net watchdong would timeout.
To fix this issue, we should call netdev_tx_reset_queue() in stmmac_resume().
