Julian Wiedmann c20383ad16 s390/qeth: improve completion of pending TX buffers 
The current design attaches a pending TX buffer to a custom
single-linked list, which is anchored at the buffer's slot on the
TX ring. The buffer is then checked for final completion whenever
this slot is processed during a subsequent TX NAPI poll cycle.

But if there's insufficient traffic on the ring, we might never make
enough progress to get back to this ring slot and discover the pending
buffer's final TX completion. In particular if this missing TX
completion blocks the application from sending further traffic.

So convert the custom single-linked list code to a per-queue list_head,
and scan this list on every TX NAPI cycle.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
