[PATCH] net: stmmac: Improve Tx timer arm logic further

[muhammad . nazim . amirul . nazle . asmade]

From: Nazim Amirul <muhammad.nazim.amirul.nazle.asmade@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently hrtimer_start is called even if hrtimer is
active. This is unnecessary and expensive in some targets.
This patch avoids calling hrtimer_start unnecessarily.
