bnx2x: fix panic when TX ring is full
commit bc14786a100cc6a81cd060e8031ec481241b418c upstream. There is a off by one error in the minimal number of BD in bnx2x_start_xmit() and bnx2x_tx_int() before stopping/resuming tx queue. A full size GSO packet, with data included in skb->head really needs (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4) BDs, because of bnx2x_tx_split() This error triggers if BQL is disabled and heavy TCP transmit traffic occurs. bnx2x_tx_split() definitely can be called, remove a wrong comment.
