[ Upstream commit 833dcd75d54f0bf5aa0a0781ff57456b421fbb40 ]

When the TX queue length reaches the threshold, the netdev watchdog
immediately detects a TX queue timeout.

This patch updates the trans_start timestamp of the transmit queue
on every asynchronous USB URB submission along the transmit path,
ensuring that the network watchdog accurately reflects ongoing
transmission activity.
