Transmit completion can safely run lockless against transmit start. In the normal case, completion is done from NAPI and only looks at elements that are at the tail of the ring. When doing shutdown or reset, the transmiter should be completely block by NAPI disable and blocking of transmit queue. Based on earlier work by Mike McCormack.
