[patch] netpoll: revert netif_queue_stopped changeset

[Jeff Moyer]

Hi, Matt,

Here's the first of the broken out patch set.  This puts the check for
netif_queue_stopped back into netpoll_send_skb.  Network drivers are not
designed to have their hard_start_xmit routines called when the queue is
stopped.
