There are two reasons for this.
First, the xmit_more flag conceptually doesn't fit into the skb, as
xmit_more is not a property related to the skb.
Its only a hint to the driver that the stack is about to transmit another
packet immediately.
Second, it was only done this way to not have to pass another argument
to ndo_start_xmit().
We can place xmit_more in the softnet data, next to the device recursion.
The recursion counter is already written to on each transmit. The "more"
indicator is placed right next to it.
Drivers can use the netdev_xmit_more() helper instead of skb->xmit_more
to check the "more packets coming" hint.
skb->xmit_more is retained (but always 0) to not cause build breakage.
This change takes care of the simple s/skb->xmit_more/netdev_xmit_more()/
conversions. Remaining drivers are converted in the next patches.

Synopsys provides a new DesignWare Core Enterprise Ethernet MAC
IP (DWC-XLGMAC) for Ethernet designs. It is compliant with the
IEEE 802.3-2012 specifications, including IEEE 802.3ba and
consortium specifications.
This patch provides the initial 25G/40G/50G/100G Ethernet driver
for Synopsys XLGMAC IP Prototyping Kit.
