ionic: use netif_txq_maybe_stop() in ionic_tx()

Commit 061b9bedbe ("ionic: Rework Tx start/stop flow") replaced
ionic_maybe_stop_tx() with netif_txq_maybe_stop() to get the memory
barriers around the stop/start bits right, but did not cover the stop
in ionic_tx() added by commit 138506ab24 ("ionic: Check stop no
restart"). Convert the remaining site.

netif_txq_maybe_stop() requires the ring indexes to be updated before
it is invoked, so the post has to come first. But ring_dbell comes
from __netdev_tx_sent_queue(), which runs after that and reads the
stop bit, so it is not known in time to pass to ionic_txq_post(). Post
without the doorbell and ring it separately.

The stop condition is unchanged. The re-check only clears the stop bit
when space has become available, so the doorbell starvation fixed by
commit 138506ab24 ("ionic: Check stop no restart") cannot recur.
