Add support for Byte Queue Limits to the STMicro MAC driver.
Tested on a Amlogic S802 quad Cortex-A9 board, where the use of BQL
decreases the latency of a high priority ping from ~12ms to ~1ms when
the 100Mbit link is saturated by 20 TCP streams.

Changes since v1:
- don't access skb->len after the start of DMA transmission in
stmmac_xmit(), to avoid potential use after free in case tx_lock is
removed in the future
