Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag),
we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help
make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of
packets. Implement this optimization.

v2: Fixed up indentation based on feedback from David Miller.
v3: If the queue is stopped, deal with that condition: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>
