We should invoke spin_lock, no need save/store irq here.

seems __napi_schedule is more proper for our case, we'll modify it in
next send.

Yes, we look drivers from other vendors, and will do similar thing in
next send.

Yes, the empty line will be removed in next send.

In this version, we encounter some issue related to
__QUEUE_STATE_STACK_OFF, 
and if we add __netif_tx_lock_bh here, it disappears.

When recieve your comments, we survey netdev_completed_queue handles in
drivers from other vendors, we beleive the __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_OFF
issue may caused by unproper usage of __napi_schedule_irqoff in
previous lines, and we'll remove __netif_tx_lock_bh, and have another
try.

If our local stress test pass, corresponding modification will be added
in next send.

Yes, will fix it in next send.
