ixgbe: fix ndo_xdp_xmit() workloads

Currently ixgbe driver checks periodically in its watchdog subtask if
there is anything to be transmitted (considering both Tx and XDP rings)
under state of carrier not being 'ok'. Such event is interpreted as Tx
hang and therefore results in interface reset.

This is currently problematic for ndo_xdp_xmit() as it is allowed to
produce descriptors when interface is going through reset or its carrier
is turned off.

Furthermore, XDP rings should not really be objects of Tx hang
detection. This mechanism is rather a matter of ndo_tx_timeout() being
called from dev_watchdog against Tx rings exposed to networking stack.

Taking into account issues described above, let us have a two fold fix -
do not respect XDP rings in local ixgbe watchdog and do not produce Tx
descriptors in ndo_xdp_xmit callback when there is some problem with
carrier currently. For now, keep the Tx hang checks in clean Tx irq
routine, but adjust it to not execute for XDP rings.
