When closing the ibmvnic driver, most notably during the reset
path, the tx pools need to be cleaned to ensure there are no
hanging skbs that need to be free'ed.
The need for this was found during debugging a loss of network
traffic after handling a driver reset. The underlying cause was
some skbs in the tx pool that were never free'ed. As a
result the upper network layers never tried a re-send since it
believed the driver still had the skb.
