Don't free the work queue entry that we're using to hold the scatter-gather

list on exit from the transmit path.  The scatter-gather list itself can be
asynchronously DMAed to the transmit hardware, and we could actually lock up
the transmitter if any of a number of races around this were lost.

Instead, let the PKO free the scatter-gather list when it is done with it, and
use the "i" bit in each segment of the packet to avoid having them go into the
FPA.

This fixes an unrecoverable transmit stall under transmit load.
