That was not exactly a revert,  :

    8139too: revisit napi_complete_done() usage
    
    It seems we have to be more careful in napi_complete_done()
    use. This patch is not a revert, as it seems we can
    avoid bug that Ville reported by moving the napi_complete_done()
    test in the spinlock section.
    
    Many thanks to Ville for detective work and all tests.
