drivers/net: fix livelock issues
Preempt-RT runs into a live lock issue with the NETDEV_TX_LOCKED micro optimization. The reason is that the softirq thread is rescheduling itself on that return value. Depending on priorities it starts to monoplize the CPU and livelock on UP systems. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
