The __netif_subqueue_stopped() just does the following:

        struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, queue_index);
        return netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq);

and since we already have the txq in scope, we can just call that
directly in this case.

Please change netif_wake_subqueue() as well ;)
I looked at this earlier when I added patch #4 but I was concerned about
the different semantics.

The netif_wake_subqueue() just returns on a netpoll_trap but the other
netif_tx_wake_queue() actually calls netif_tx_start_queue() for the same
netpoll_trap instance.  Maybe that is OK, but I didn't want to be changing
the behaviour of subtleties in stuff where I am clearly still learning.
I see... commit 7b3d3e4fc68 added a small difference here...
