From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The system can get into a state where the xmit queue
is stopped, but there are no packets pending, so
the queue will not be restarted.
Add logic to the xmit watchdog to attempt to restart
the xmit logic if this situation is detected.

NOTE: This is basically the same as a patch I posted
a day or two ago. It doesn't address the concern of the
reviewer who NACK'd it, but my system will not properly
transmit packets without this patch applied. I realize
this is a bit of a hack, but until we find and fix all
of the other bugs, I think this patch or something similar
should be applied.
Still, this patch should not be applied unless given positive
ACK by the ath9k developers.
