    net: hns3: fix tx timeout issue
    
    [ Upstream commit 61a1deacc3d4fd3d57d7fda4d935f7f7503e8440 ]
    
    Currently, the driver knocks the ring doorbell before updating
    the ring->last_to_use in tx flow. if the hardware transmiting
    packet and napi poll scheduling are fast enough, it may get
    the old ring->last_to_use in drivers' napi poll.
    In this case, the driver will think the tx is not completed, and
    return directly without clear the flag __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF,
    which may cause tx timeout.
