According to the implementation of XDP of FEC driver, the XDP path
shares the transmit queues with the kernel network stack, so it is
possible to lead to a tx timeout event when XDP uses the tx queue
pretty much exclusively. And this event will cause the reset of the
FEC hardware.
To avoid timeout in this case, we use the txq_trans_cond_update()
interface to update txq->trans_start to jiffies so that watchdog
won't generate a transmit timeout warning.
