Subject: [PATCH net 2/6] igc: Remove delay during TX ring configuration

From: Muhammad Husaini Zulkifli <muhammad.husaini.zulkifli@...el.com>

Remove unnecessary delay during the TX ring configuration.
This will cause delay, especially during link down and
link up activity.

Furthermore, old SKUs like as I225 will call the reset_adapter
to reset the controller during TSN mode Gate Control List (GCL)
setting. This will add more time to the configuration of the
real-time use case.

It doesn't mentioned about this delay in the Software User Manual.
It might have been ported from legacy code I210 in the past.
