Subject: [PATCH] enic: Fix another sleep-in-atomic bug

The driver may sleep under a spin lock in some function call paths.
The 1st function call path is:
enic_tx_hang_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_stop
    enic_synchronize_irqs
      synchronize_irq --> may sleep
The 2nd function call path is:
enic_tx_hang_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_dev_wait
    schedule_timeout_uninterruptible --> may sleep
The 3rd function call path is:
enic_tx_hang_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_open
    enic_request_intr
      enic_set_rx_cpu_rmap
        enic_free_rx_cpu_rmap
          free_irq_cpu_rmap --> may sleep

To fix it, the "spin_lock" and "spin_unlock" are removed 
in enic_tx_hang_reset.
