Revert a previous commit - this is causing hardware errors.

I'm not sure why this is failing.  The holding descriptor should be being
re-read when starting DMA of the next frame.  Obviously something here
isn't totally correct.

I'll review the TX queue handling and see if I can figure out why this
is failing.  I'll then re-revert this patch out and use the holding
descriptor again.
