Merge branch 'amd-xgbe-tx-resilience-improvements-for-link-down-handling' 

Raju Rangoju says:

====================
amd-xgbe: TX resilience improvements for link-down handling

This series enhances the AMD 10GbE driver's TX queue handling during
link-down events to improve resilience, prevent resource leaks, and
enable fast failover in link aggregation configurations.

The three patches form a complete link-down handling solution:

1. Patch 1: Fast detection (know quickly when link goes down)
2. Patch 2: Quick response (stop TX immediately, skip waits)
3. Patch 3: Clean recovery (reclaim abandoned resources)
====================
