I am afraid that TX-lock is per nic-queue and it won't work out that
easy because skbs for different queues can reside in a Qdisc.
Batching will help mostly when netif_queue_start() triggers, when we
are in steady state stopping and re-starting the txq.

What we really care about are the qdisc <--> txq one to one
relationship which is by far the most common case.

In the multiple txq to qdisc case, we still can benefit because
packets for one txq will still tend to bunch op and give deferral
opportunities.
