If there is a lot of transmit traffic the driver can get into a situation that the device is starved due to the doorbell never being rung. This can happen if xmit_more is set constantly and __netdev_tx_sent_queue() keeps returning false. Fix this by checking if the queue needs to be stopped right before calling __netdev_tx_sent_queue(). Use MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 as the stop condition because that's the maximum number of frags supported for non-TSO transmit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
