Subject: [PATCH net 6/7] net: axienet: fix for TX busy handling

We should be avoiding returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY from ndo_start_xmit in
normal cases. Move the main check for a full TX ring to the end of the
function so that we stop the queue after the last available space is used
up, and only wake up the queue if enough space is available for a full
maximally fragmented packet. Print a warning if there is insufficient
space at the start of start_xmit, since this should no longer happen.

Fixes: 8a3b7a252dca9 ("drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx: added Xilinx AXI Ethernet driver")
