[igb] add DROP_EN to each RX queue config if TX flow control is disabled

Hi,

This patch enables the DROP_EN flag to each RX queue if TX flow
control is disabled. It (mostly) mirrors what the ixgbe driver does.

This prevents a single full RX ring from stalling the rest of the RX rings.

How's it look? (indenting and such aside, thanks google.)
