Currently, we stop tx queues when we have one urb submitted. This means
we will immediately hit dev_hard_start_xmit's tx-queues-off ->
NETDEV_TX_BUSY case, and revert to the requeue -> gso_skb single-dequeue
path, and no longer be able to pack skbs without an xmit_more
indication.

Instead, allow a few urbs to be in-flight, with a limit of 16kB of data
outstanding (after which we will disable queues). With this, the tx path
will cause fewer requeues (and therefore non-packed transfers) under
normal loads.

v2:
 - rework tx_qmem locking, prevent race between completion and
   submission for stopping/waking the tx queues; perform the wake while
   locked
 - only wake if netif_running()
