Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Warn if insufficient queue length for
transmitting
The transmit queue is stopped when the number of free queue entries is less
than 2+MAX_SKB_FRAGS, in start_xmit(). If the queue length (QUEUE_NUM_MAX)
is less than then this, transmission will immediately trigger a netdev
watchdog timeout. Report this condition earlier and more directly.
