This patch addresses the following issues with Tx batching:

1. Tx stall observed in some conditions:

The batching code doesn't request for a completion when only a partial
chain of packets is transmitted due to mbuf allocation errors. Because
of this, Tx consumer index is not updated correctly and it eventually
leads to qfull condition. Fix this by requesting a completion for the
last packet in the partial chain that is transmitted successfully.

2. Tx stall seen with Jumbo frames:

With jumbo frames, number of TxBDs is > 1. While setting up these
additional BDs in bnxt_start_xmit(), the flags field is being set using
the OR-assignment operator. We end up using a stale value of the flags
field (from a previous use of that descriptor). This results in an
invalid completion and eventually leads to tx stall. Fix this to just
assign the flags field with the right value.
