cxgb4: fix throughput drop during Tx backpressure [ Upstream commit 7affd80802afb6ca92dba47d768632fbde365241 ] commit 7c3bebc3d868 ("cxgb4: request the TX CIDX updates to status page") reverted back to getting Tx CIDX updates via DMA, instead of interrupts, introduced by commit d429005fdf2c ("cxgb4/cxgb4vf: Add support for SGE doorbell queue timer") However, it missed reverting back several code changes where Tx CIDX updates are not explicitly requested during backpressure when using interrupt mode. These missed changes cause slow recovery during backpressure because the corresponding interrupt no longer comes and hence results in Tx throughput drop. So, revert back these missed code changes, as well, which will allow explicitly requesting Tx CIDX updates when backpressure happens. This enables the corresponding interrupt with Tx CIDX update message to get generated and hence speed up recovery and restore back throughput.
