When the Tx queues are full above a threshold, we
immediately stop the mac80211's queue to stop getting new
packets. This worked until TSO was enabled.
With TSO, one single packet from mac80211 can use many
descriptors since a large send needs to be split into
several segments.
This means that stopping mac80211's queues is not enough
and we also need to ensure that we don't overflow the Tx
queues with one single packet from mac80211.
Add code to transport layer to do just that. Stop
mac80211's queue as soon as the queue is full above the
same threshold as before, and keep pushing the current
packet along with its segments on the queue, but check
that we don't overflow. If that would happen, buffer the
segments, and send them when there is room in the Tx queue
again. Of course, we first need to send the buffered
segments and only then, wake up mac80211's queues.
