Split use_simple_rxtx into use_simple_rx and use_simple_tx,
and ensure that only use_simple_tx is updated when txq flags
forces to use the standard Tx handler.

I think it's a good idea to split it.

This change is also useful for next commit (disable simple Rx
path when Rx checksum is requested).

But again, I don't think it's a good idea to put them (including the
next patch) to stable releases.

Yes, you're right this one is more an enhancement than a fix: it
just selects a faster handler if it's possible.

But next one is a fix: it must not select the simple handler if
offload is requested.

If these commits are not pushed in stable, it's not a problem for
me, so I let you decide. In that case, I will remove the Cc: stable
from the last 3 commits. Do you confirm?

Thanks for the review.
