net: dont update dev->trans_start in 10GB drivers

Followup of commits 9d21493b4b
and 08baf56108
(net: tx scalability works : trans_start)
(net: txq_trans_update() helper)

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Multi queue drivers can
avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit()
handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers (vxge & tehuti)
