The netdev qeueue might be stopped when byte queue limit has
reached or tx hw ring is full, net_tx_action() may still be
rescheduled endlessly if STATE_MISSED is set, which consumes
a lot of cpu without dequeuing and transmiting any skb because
the netdev queue is stopped, see qdisc_run_end().
This patch fixes it by checking the netdev queue state before
calling qdisc_run() and clearing STATE_MISSED if netdev queue is
stopped during qdisc_run(), the net_tx_action() is recheduled
again when netdev qeueue is restarted, see netif_tx_wake_queue().
As there is time window betewwn netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped()
checking and STATE_MISSED clearing, between which STATE_MISSED
may set by net_tx_action() scheduled by netif_tx_wake_queue(),
so set the STATE_MISSED again if netdev queue is restarted.

V8: Change qdisc_maybe_stop_tx() to qdisc_maybe_clear_missed()
as suggested by Jakub.
V7: Fix the netif_tx_wake_queue() data race noted by Jakub.
V6: Drop NET_XMIT_DROP checking for it is not really relevant
to this patch, and it may cause performance performance
regression with multi pktgen threads on dummy netdev with
pfifo_fast qdisc case.
