Should be fixed by:
e1000: resolve tx multiqueue bug
With the recent changes to tx mutiqueue, e1000 was not calling
netif_start_queue() before calling netif_wake_queue().
This causes an oops during loading of the driver.
(Based on commit d55b53fff0c2ddb639dca04c3f5a0854f292d982
("igb/ixgbe/e1000e: resolve tx multiqueue bug").)
