bnxt_en: reverse order of TX disable and carrier off
[ Upstream commit 132e0b65dc2b8bfa9721bfce834191f24fd1d7ed ]
A TX queue can potentially immediately timeout after it is stopped
and the last TX timestamp on that queue was more than 5 seconds ago with
carrier still up. Prevent these intermittent false TX timeouts
by bringing down carrier first before calling netif_tx_disable().
