usbnet: fix crash due to missing BQL accounting after resume

In commit 7ff14c52049e ("usbnet: Add support for Byte Queue Limits
(BQL)"), it was missed that usbnet_resume() may enqueue SKBs using
__skb_queue_tail() without reporting them to BQL. As a result, the next
call to netdev_completed_queue() triggers a BUG_ON() in dql_completed(),
since the SKBs queued during resume were never accounted for.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a corresponding netdev_sent_queue()
call in usbnet_resume() when SKBs are queued after suspend. Because
dev->txq.lock is held at this point, no concurrent calls to
netdev_sent_queue() from usbnet_start_xmit() can occur.

The crash can be reproduced by generating network traffic
(e.g. iperf3 -c ... -t 0), suspending the system, and then waking it up
(e.g. rtcwake -m mem -s 5).

When testing USB2 Android tethering (cdc_ncm), the system crashed within
three suspend/resume cycles without this patch. With the patch applied,
no crashes were observed after 90 cycles. Testing with an AX88179 USB
Ethernet adapter also showed no crashes.
