Use the maximum of isc_tx_{nsegments,tso_segments_max} for MAX_TX_DESC.
Since r336313, TSO support for LEM-class devices is removed again as it
was before the conversion of {l,}em(4) to iflib(4) in r311849 and as a
result, isc_tx_tso_segments_max is 0 for LEM-class devices now. Thus,
inappropriate watermarks were used for this class.

This is really only a band-aid, though, because so far iflib(9) doesn't
fully take into account that DMA engines can support different maxima
of segments for transfers of TSO and non-TSO packets. For example, the
DESC_RECLAIMABLE macro is based on isc_tx_nsegments while MAX_TX_DESC
used isc_tx_tso_segments_max only. For most in-tree consumers that
doesn't make a difference as the maxima are the same for both kinds of
transfers (that is, apart from the fact that TSO may require up to 2
sentinel descriptors but also not with every MAC supported). However,
isc_tx_nsegments is 8 but isc_tx_tso_segments_max is 85 by default
with ixl(4).
