net/mlx4_en: Wake TX queues only when there's enough room

Indication of a single completed packet, marked by txbbs_skipped
being bigger then zero, in not enough in order to wake up a
stopped TX queue. The completed packet may contain a single TXBB,
while next packet to be sent (after the wake up) may have multiple
TXBBs (LSO/TSO packets for example), causing overflow in queue followed
by WQE corruption and TX queue timeout.
Instead, wake the stopped queue only when there's enough room for the
worst case (maximum sized WQE) packet that we should need to handle after
the queue is opened again.

Also created an helper routine - mlx4_en_is_tx_ring_full, which checks
if the current TX ring is full or not. It provides better code readability
and removes code duplication.
