[PATCH 2/5] netpoll: revert queue stopped change

[Matt Mackall]

From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>

Here's the first of the broken out patch set.  This puts the check for
netif_queue_stopped back into netpoll_send_skb.  Network drivers are not
designed to have their hard_start_xmit routines called when the queue is
stopped.
