staging: et131x: on transmit, stop the queue if the next packet will fail

Browse source 
* Currently the tx queue is only stopped when the current packet fails.
Check if the next packet will fail, and stop the queue if so.

* Removed associated item from TODO list in the README.

* Also minor fixup as adapter was being declared as null and immediately set
to a value.

TODO:
- Use of kmem_cache seems a bit unusual
- It's too late stopping the tx queue when there is no room for the current packet. The condition should be detected for the next packet.
