[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 013/244] hv_netvsc: fix race that may miss tx queue wakeup

From: Sasha Levin

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 93aa4792c3908eac87ddd368ee0fe0564148232b ]

When the ring buffer is almost full due to RX completion messages, a
TX packet may reach the "low watermark" and cause the queue stopped.
If the TX completion arrives earlier than queue stopping, the wakeup
may be missed.

This patch moves the check for the last pending packet to cover both
EAGAIN and success cases, so the queue will be reliably waked up when
necessary.
