[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 15/53] e1000e: start network tx queue only when link is up

[Sasha Levin]

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d17ba0f616a08f597d9348c372d89b8c0405ccf3 ]

Driver does not want to keep packets in Tx queue when link is lost.
But present code only reset NIC to flush them, but does not prevent
queuing new packets. Moreover reset sequence itself could generate
new packets via netconsole and NIC falls into endless reset loop.

This patch wakes Tx queue only when NIC is ready to send packets.

This is proper fix for problem addressed by commit 0f9e980bf5ee
("e1000e: fix cyclic resets at link up with active tx").
