[PATCH net] net: airoha: stop net_device TX queue before updating CPU index

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

Currently, airoha_eth driver updates the CPU index register prior of
verifying whether the number of free descriptors has fallen below the
threshold.
Move net_device TX queue length check before updating the TX CPU index
in order to update TX CPU index even if there are more packets to be
transmitted but the net_device TX queue is going to be stopped
accounting the inflight packets.
