ixgb: Fix early TSO completion

This fix was already merged in commit 96f9c2e277768099479fbed7c3b69c294b1fadef
but reverted in commit 989316ddfeafd0e8fb51a4d811383769ad62637a. After
stresstesting we found that the fix does not add new regressions and
works around a TX hang spotted by several users.
