Revert "tun/tap & vhost-net: avoid ptr_ring tail-drop when a qdisc is present"
This reverts commit 1d6e569b7d0c0b2736636749e4be0a27f3cefcb3.
The commit stops the netdev queue when the ptr_ring is full instead of
dropping the packet. My own tests showed no relevant regression, but on
Brett Sheffield's librecast testbed an IPv6 multicast testcase got
slower. With 8 iperf3 TCP threads sending, the throughput dropped from
13.5 Gbit/s to 9.13 Gbit/s.
