Subject: [PATCH net v2 6/9] net: axienet: Fix TX ring slot available check

The check for whether a TX ring slot was available was incorrect,
since a slot which had been loaded with transmit data but the device had
not started transmitting would be treated as available, potentially
causing non-transmitted slots to be overwritten. The control field in
the descriptor should be checked, rather than the status field (which may
only be updated when the device completes the entry).

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