I do not think this patch is needed since there is no point to remove all the
RX buffers from the hw RX queues stopping the device, this is necessary just
removing the module (I think we can avoid it for TX too, I have a patch for it
I need to post).
Moreover, doing so, when the device is opened again, RX queues will be empty.

Regards,
Lorenzo
