Subject: [PATCH] Fix a race between sky2_down and sky2_poll.

If sky2_down was called between an interrupt and the corresponding sky2_poll,
rx_ring will have been free'd and we'll crash.

Deal with rx_ring being NULL in sky2_status_intr rather than trying to force
napi polls to complete before freeing rx_ring.
