mainlining shenanigans

Running pktgen with packets sizes > 512b ends up in the interface Txq getting stuck. "netsec 522d0000.ethernet eth0: netsec_netdev_start_xmit: TxQFull!" appears on dmesg but the interface never recovers. It requires an ifconfig down/up to make the interface usable again. The reason that triggers this, is a race condition between .ndo_start_xmit and the napi completion. The available budget is calculated first and indicates the queue is full. Due to a costly netif_err() the queue is not stopped in time while the napi completion runs, clears the irq and frees up descriptors, thus the queue never wakes up again. Fix this by moving the print after stopping the queue, make the print ratelimited, add barriers and check for cleaned descriptors..

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.
