[ Upstream commit 18912c4524385dd6532c682cb9d4f6aa39ba8d47 ]
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 ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
