ixgbe: ixgbe_down needs to stop dev_watchdog
There is a small race between when the tx queues are stopped and when netif_carrier_off() is called in ixgbe_down. If the dev_watchdog() timer fires during this time it is possible for a false tx timeout to occur. This patch moves the netif_carrier_off() so that it is called before the tx queues are stopped preventing the dev_watchdog timer from detecting false tx timeouts. The race is seen occosionally when FCoE or DCB settings are being configured or changed. Testing note, running ifconfig up/down will not reproduce this issue because dev_open/dev_close call dev_deactivate() and then dev_activate().
