net: netif_tx_queue_stopped too expensive

netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq) is most of the time false.

Yet its cost is very expensive on SMP.

static inline int netif_tx_queue_stopped(const struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
	return test_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
}

I saw this on oprofile hunting and bnx2 driver bnx2_tx_int().

We probably should split "struct netdev_queue" in two parts, one
being read mostly.

__netif_tx_lock() touches _xmit_lock & xmit_lock_owner, these
deserve a separate cache line.
