    e1000e: do not schedule the Tx queue until ready · 400484fa

    Start the Tx queue when the interface is brought up in e1000e_up() but do
    not schedule the queue until link is up as detected in the watchdog task
    which sets netif_carrier_on.
    
    Also flush the descriptors and clean the Tx and Rx rings before resetting
    the hardware when bringing the interface down otherwise there is a small
    window where the watchdog task can be triggered with netif_carrier_off
    and the Tx ring not yet empty which causes an additional and unnecessary
    reset.
