ixgbe: Update DESC_NEEDED define to adjust for changes to MAX_SKB_FRAGS
Recent changes have made it so that MAX_SKB_FRAGS is now never less than 16. As a result we were seeing issues on systems with 64K pages as it would cause DESC_NEEDED to increase to 68, and we would need over 136 descriptors free before clean_tx_irq would wake the queue. This patch makes it so that DESC_NEEDED is always MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4. This should prevent any possible deadlocks on the systems with 64K pages as we will now only require 42 descriptors to wake.
