I'm seeing series of e1000e resets (sometimes endless) at system boot if something generates tx traffic at this time. In my case this is netconsole who sends message "e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Some CPU C-states have been disabled in order to enable jumbo frames" from e1000e itself. As result e1000_watchdog_task sees used tx buffer while carrier is off and start this reset cycle again.

This patch flushes tx buffers only once when carrier is off rather than at each watchdog iteration.
