netpoll: Only call ndo_start_xmit from a single place
Factor out the code that needs to surround ndo_start_xmit from netpoll_send_skb_on_dev into netpoll_start_xmit. It is an unfortunate fact that as the netpoll code has been maintained the primary call site ndo_start_xmit learned how to handle vlans and timestamps but the second call of ndo_start_xmit in queue_process did not. With the introduction of netpoll_start_xmit this associated logic now happens at both call sites of ndo_start_xmit and should make it easy for that to continue into the future.
