Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] amd-xgbe: handle the corner-case during tx completion

The existing implementation uses software logic to accumulate tx
completions until the specified time (1ms) is met and then poll them.
However, there exists a tiny gap which leads to a race between
resetting and checking the tx_activate flag. Due to this the tx
completions are not reported to upper layer and tx queue timeout
kicks-in restarting the device.

To address this, introduce a tx cleanup mechanism as part of the
periodic maintenance process.

Fixes: c5aa9e3b8156 ("amd-xgbe: Initial AMD 10GbE platform driver")
