i40e/i40evf: fix Tx hang workaround code

The arm writeback (arm_wb) code is used for kicking the Tx ring to
make sure any pending work is completed even if interrupts are
disabled. It was running when it didn't need to, and not clearing
the ring->arm_wb state after it was set.  This caused Tx hangs
to still occur occasionally when there really was no hang.
Fix this by resetting the variable right after it was used.
