[PATCH] ethernet:arc: Fix racing of TX ring buffer

The tail of the ring buffer(txbd_dirty) should never go ahead of the
head(txbd_curr) or the ring buffer will corrupt.
This is the root cause of racing.
Besides, setting the FOR_EMAC flag should be the last step of modifying
the buffer descriptor, or possible racing will occur.
