Jacob Keller 69077577af i40e: avoid permanent lock of *_PTP_TX_IN_PROGRESS
The i40e driver uses a bit lock to indicate when a Tx timestamp is in
progress to avoid attempting to timestamp multiple packets at once. This
is required because hardware only has registers to handle one request at
a time.

There is a corner case where we failed to cleanup the bit lock after
a failed transmit. This can potentially result in a state bit being
locked forever.

Add some cleanup code to i40e_xmit_frame_ring to check and make sure we
cleanup incase of these failures. We also modify i40e_tx_map to return
an error code indication DMA failure.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
