bnxt: make sure xmit_more + errors does not miss doorbells

skbs are freed on error and not put on the ring. We may, however,
be in a situation where we're freeing the last skb of a batch,
and there is a doorbell ring pending because of xmit_more() being
true earlier. Make sure we ring the door bell in such situations.

Since errors are rare don't pay attention to xmit_more() and just
always flush the pending frames.

The busy case should be safe to be left alone because it can
only happen if start_xmit races with completions and they
both enable the queue. In that case the kick can't be pending.

Noticed while reading the code.
