e1000e: do not schedule the Tx queue until ready
Start the Tx queue when the interface is brought up in e1000e_up() but do not schedule the queue until link is up as detected in the watchdog task which sets netif_carrier_on. Also flush the descriptors and clean the Tx and Rx rings before resetting the hardware when bringing the interface down otherwise there is a small window where the watchdog task can be triggered with netif_carrier_off and the Tx ring not yet empty which causes an additional and unnecessary reset.
