The call to sdma_progress() is called outside the wait lock.
In this case, there is a race condition where sdma_progress() can return
false and the sdma_engine can idle. If that happens, there will be no
more sdma interrupts to cause the wakeup and the vnic_sdma xmit will hang.
Fix by moving the lock to enclose the sdma_progress() call.
Also, delete the tx_retry. The need for this was removed by:

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.
