These were introduced by the original implementation in commit
2d4238f55697 ("ice: Add support for AF_XDP"), without explanation.
Looking at some of the other implementations I don't see calls to
netif_tx_stop_queue or netif_tx_start_queue, so at least its not common.
In fact the only caller in an _xsk.c file appears to be ice.
