mv643xx_eth: avoid dropping tx lock during transmit reclaim
By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that mv643xx_eth is used on at least). This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable performance difference in routing benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
