Subject: [PATCH] Improvev netconsole support for RTL8139 NIC driver

In current RTL8139 NIC driver, spin_lock()/spin_unlock() is used
for irq handler. But for netconsole/netpoll, it prefers
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlcok_irqrestore(). So this patch fixed
this problem to improve netconsole/netpoll support.
