use INT_MAX and force=true when ... ?
To make sure the dependency is clear.

why are you doing this? To make sure drivers doesn't complete more 
than "budget" Tx skbs? The budget is really for Rx, for Tx you can
use a reasonable fixed value, independent of what budget core
passes in, e.g. 128. See:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/networking/napi.html#datapath-api

Moving this chunk into axienet_free_tx_chain() is a noop, right?
Please avoid code cleanups in fixes.
