ixgbe: do not stop tx queues in ixgbe_set_tso
Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because
when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called.  If the watchdog
timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been
sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and
ndo_tx_timeout() is called.  This is ocossionally seen during testing.
This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed.  The scheduler
submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and
if so it calls dev_gso_segment.  Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit()
to do the gso processing.   However ixgbe does not use the features flags to
determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so
ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features
flag.
