[TG3]: Convert to non-LLTX


Herbert Xu pointed out that it is unsafe to call netif_tx_disable()
from LLTX drivers because it uses dev->xmit_lock to synchronize
whereas LLTX drivers use private locks.

Convert tg3 to non-LLTX to fix this issue. tg3 is a lockless driver
where hard_start_xmit and tx completion handling can run concurrently
under normal conditions. A tx_lock is only needed to prevent
netif_stop_queue and netif_wake_queue race condtions when the queue
is full.

So whether we use LLTX or non-LLTX, it makes practically no
difference.
