Subject: [PATCH] net: axienet: Fix TX ring slot available check

The check for whether a TX ring slot was available was incorrect, since a slot which had been loaded with transmit data but the device had not started transmitting would be treated as available, potentially causing non-transmitted slots to be overwritten. The control field in the descriptor should be checked, rather than the status field (which may only be updated when the device completes the entry).
